Very Scottish things

[Jbrown76]

Inspired by the very Irish things thread on Craignet.

"Bawbag" is one of my favourite words.

"Yous"

'Straightfae' - when you go out for drinks after work without going home in between

How no?

Wabbit

Looking like a droont rat

Gein him pelters

F#*! that!

Ya belter

Scran

Got the munchies

Greetings from Aberdeen:

Aye, aye
Fit like?
Foos yer doos?
Aye, pechin’ awa’
Far div ye bide?
Are ye nae spikkin?

Also seen on funeral notices 'He had a sair fecht'

I must be too far south. Never ever heard of circles.

I have never heard that word used as a term of endearment in Scotland and I live half my life in Glasgow.
Heard it used a lot in Australia.
Apart from Austrslia, the only place I see it used is here on MN

Apologies if I missed it already being mentioned but someone just sent me this and it reminded me of Tunnocks. Not forgetting all the other Scottish brands that make us proud, Barrs, Baxters, Deans shortbread, Mackies, Border biscuits, Simmers, Simon Howie for example.

Coat hanging on a shoogly peg

When I first heard nippy sweetie I knew exactly what it meant without explanation 😁

Also seen on funeral notices 'He had a sair fecht'

Yes I've seen that one in the good old P and J many times.

Also "X and Y are fair chuffed to announce the birth of......". That one gets on my wick.

In a guddle

"Bawbag" is one of my favourite words.

Along with 'bawhair' being an extremely tiny unit of measurement!

A guddle and a fankle being very different things : kippers are guddly, rope and kickers get in a fankle.

stovies - they don’t seem to exist South of the border

being “married on” rather than “married to”

Sectarian education (not a good thing)

a nip and a dram as undefined quantities but you unerringly know what the right amount is

first footing

birling - means spinning but makes spoonerised Shirley bassey amusing!

aye, right Are we the only place where two positives make a negative?

Whats outwith.? Haven't heard that one

Means outside of so outwith opening hours . Or outwith an area etc etc

Is it not a real word?

I didn't know

There is a green hill far away
Without a city wall

Is what we sang in Scotland , which is an older form of the lyrics.

The modernised 'English' version is

Outside a city wall.

aye, right Are we the only place where two positives make a negative?

Don't think so - American say 'sure, you did'.

Yes it's a real word

You should use it😃

It's a really useful word

I probably do as i genuinely thought it was a word

Oh sorry ignore me

I'll keep schtum

As others have said, VERY Dundee specific 😂

Outwith my remit, outwith the terms and conditions, outwith the parameters, etc.

Thank you - that makes sense even though I’ve never seen it in the wild

Onit, I was just thinking of you yesterday. I’m so glad to see you here. How are?

I posted on your threads under a different name. I’ve thought of you often and I hope life is treating you and the children well.

Oh that's got me quite emotional 😢
