You know your Scottish when....

[BloodyDogHairs]

everyone asks "where's the wean?" instead of their actual name

So what's your "you know your scottish" thing? and favourite word.

My favourite word is Sleekit or Glaiket

Do you not mean, "See youse after"?

Oh i was going to go to town today minded school was back onTuesday and thought bugger that.

DH asked a wee cafe guy in England the other week if he had any 'ginger that's cauld' Poor soul didn't have a clue.

"Aff yer/her/his napper" being when one has consumed too much alcohol and/or drugs.

Are most if these Weegie rather than Scotland wide?

My dgran used to say 'the scullery' for the kitchen and 'the lobby' for the hall and an old tshirt we got to sleep in at an impromptu sleepover was a sloppy Joe Miss my granny

No they are scottish words but they cross regions. Although glaswegians dont say ken

I'd say some of them are OOAML...

I recognise some but quite a lot I don't so I wondered if they were regional. I know my husband's family use a lot of words I don't (and I resist being absorbed into their Edinburgh life). I do use fud and fanny quite a lot, generally under my breath but always an insult not an endearment.

foo's yer doo's?

fit like ma quine

and a very local one

ah'll tek twa pies, a stekk bridie an' an ingin' een an' a'

Someone on my FB posted that she had the "Jakie shakes", after a night out.
Also, knowing that you can ever, ever call your son Ned, and what about "up the stair", instead of upstairs.

I'm not even Scottish as such, I was raised in the North East of England, Scottish (Ayrshire) Mum and south coast Dad, but I've visited all my life and have lived here 14 yrs now, dd born and brought up here, and considers herself Scottish.

One of my favourites is baw heid.
The other night the nearby farm were spreading really smelly fertiliser, my niece ran in and shouted "it honks of jobby out there"

I remember an old thread where someone (presume not in Scotland) wanted to call her son Jake but her DH wouldn't agree so she started a thread calling herself JakieMum

something I didn't realise til someone on a fb group commented on it was they noticed we measure distance in time. That's so true.... how far is Glasgow to Dundee? 2 hours
How far is Edinburgh to St Andrews? oh about 45 mins

littledafty that made me totally hoot with laughter! Although in the North East we would call it sharne, as in sharney dubs. Have you heard of Scotland the What? They were a trio of older chaps that did comedy/songs in Doric - theme of my childhood, so funny.

The jakey shakes

Aye we dont do miles we do minutes or hours. Somebody how far away we were going on holiday oo about 8 hours

When your local chip shop has just the counter and a 5 foot tall display of Smidge midge repelant, like the one I visited near Fort William.

Redglitter, you can do Edinburgh to St Andrews in 45 minutes? Obviously not using the same vehicle as Glasgow to Dundee*...

(Sorry, couldn't resist. )

I loooove Scotland the What, I think The Builder was my favourite skit ever.

*Each journey is in the region of an hour and a half.

I do have a confession though.......

DH had that football phone in on the radio in the car earlier and Tam Cowan's accent does my head in.

Sorry!

The distance thing is so true

Plain bread.
