Very Scottish things

[Jbrown76]

Inspired by the very Irish things thread on Craignet.

My parents are Scottish so I grew up hearing these things but not using as English people don’t. On moving to Fife for uni I came across a few phrases.
Furtid Cloots.
Where do you stay.
How are you going there.
Macaroni pies.
Stovies.
Wet brown sauce.

The school question is VERY west coast, to suss out whether catholic or Protestant…

”I’ll chum you to the bus stop”

Ach awa ‘n ask meh erse.

Eh think eh’ll need meh square the day.

Yeh glaikit big bugger.

Awa up the hill - has gone to the cemetery as a visitor.

Jotters
Square sausage
Wee 'Warthog' (to refer to my Mum)
Big 'Warthog' (my Gran)
Haar (sea fog)
Crabbit

Also the East coast.

Ok the school question is more widespread then, always thought in Edinburgh it was to see if you'd been at state or private.

Big yes to all soft drinks being 'juice'.

She’s no affy weel.

She’s affy no weel.

The latter usually said under the breath with an accompanying twitch of the nose to make it very clear the person was doomed.

Here it was too see if you were Catholic or protestant !

My folks (Glasgow) still call the swimming pool ‘the baths!’
I love it!

’Hen’ - term of endearment for girl/woman.

Definitely not in Dundee

Folks is another one!

Ice cream vans that sell various other things apart from ice creams/lollies/drinks

Blowin' a hoolie

Crabbit
Scunner
Oor Wullie and the Broons
Steak pie fae the buchers

@Pinkitydrinkity i had no clue ‘folks’ is a Scottish thing! 😮

Has anyone said, chap the door, yet?
Also uplift for collect. Especially on FB marketplace posts.

Also to comment on outwith. I'm English but lived in Scotland for 22 years now and I love this word.

Very much in Dundee.

And also used by DC Thomsons as a means of weeding out Catholics when going through job application way way back in the day.

My dad talks about the back press but tbh I'm not sure what he's on about. I think he means the kitchen🤷‍♀️

Pelly Wally
Where do you stay.

On a positive note my butcher in the deep deep South sells square sausage. Sometimes the squared sausage has haggis in the middle.

The local sweet shop sells tablet

Fond memories of my gran calling her hall cupboard ‘the lobby press’

Give the dog a clap (or should I say gie the wee dug a clap).

I used it on here recently and confused a lot of people.

Clap the dog
Bucket to mean bin
Stair instead of stairs

Ha, cross post.

I miss living in Scotland 🥲

@PollyThePixie I agree...very much Dundee as well. My mum always talks about being brought up Catholic and the rivalry between protestant and catholic schools.
She jokes now "I was raised Catholic, but I'm better now!"
