Very Scottish things

[Jbrown76]

Inspired by the very Irish things thread on Craignet.

Gallus
Pure brilliant

Me too.

Yes!

the bidie in made me laugh.

Whsf school did you go to has never been a thing in the north east.

Or What age are you come to think of it.

Hahaha. I remember not long after meeting my Irish DH. Asking if he wanted to clap the dug. He replied "no....?" quizzically. It confused me as I knew he was a dog lover.

What do .the rest of the UK doif they are not clapping their dogs ,?

'Away and.....' as an instruction eg 'away and check if the postie's been'; 'away up the stairs hen and check I unplugged my hairdryer '.
Also 'doolally' for a person who has lost their mental acuity!

Oh Aye . AWAY and... we are a peculiar race 😃

And 'chuckies ' meaning little stones often on a garden path. That might be a west of Scotland one

A friend moved from England to Scotland and went round to someone's house. Her young child went straight in, interacted well. Someone commented "she's no strange, is she!". Meaning, she's not shy of people she doesn't know.

Friend thought it most odd (why would my child be strange??).

A friend told me of an incident where her understanding of the term 'dogging' ( which was common parlance for playing truant from school in her 1980s West of Scotland schooldays) caused some confusion when others were discussing a tv documentary on the subject ( which covered the behaviour of single men in lay-bys....)

Pat or stroke them.

We said chuckies in Aberdeen too! Usually pink granite stones but maybe that was just my area/time period.

Ah of course 😄

I think going for a daunder is a Scottish thing too?

@Mrsjayy
Or 'smooth' them (SW)

@RaraRachael "Who belongs this coat".
Probably from Gaelic - Irish Gaelic " Cé leis an cóta ?" - who is with the coat ?

Describing somebody as being 'a wee bit pan-loafy' as in they're acting/speaking a bit posher than they were brought up.

Stoor for dust.

Being told by your ma that your room's a midden, meaning it's in an absolute state of disarray.

'That dogs a right sook'- the dog likes loads of cuddles/is very affectionate.

The bunker
the bucket man drives the bucket motor and the scaffy sweeps
the sweat runs down the shuch of your back
and juice covers all cold nonalcoholic liquids apart from water

Years ago I added outwith to my word dictionary because what do Microsoft know?

“see you” can either be the start of adulation or a fight

desperate longing and gallows humour are the sustenance of the average Scotland football fan (but maybe not this time)

Empire biscuits, though.

As if it wasn't enough to add industrial jam and glacé icing to shortbread, there's the wee 'fuck you, dentists' jelly tot on top to finish.

We still have bunkers the Dds are all la de da and have worktops in their kitchens 😀

What d'ye (which is more of a gentle j sound) cry it?

Shree for three.

That's not right! can I smooth your dog 😄

All fur and nae knickers

Did ye, aye?
