Please can we have a Scottish MN section - Mawsnet, mebbe?

Following on from discussion on another thread - could we have a Scottish section, please?

The local information is good, but it is too local to apply to the whole of Scotland, if you see what I mean.

I like scots corner!

So, does it look like the Scottish section might be a go-er then? ^^

I like ScotsCorner and MNScotland.

Also like the idea of Scottish names for sections. So Parenting could be Bairns, and Chat could be Blethers. We could have a weather section called Driech.

S&B could be called Peely-Wally.

AIBU would be Am I Being Glaikit?

Good Housekeeping could be Dain the Cleaning?
Property could be Flitting?

Oh, yes to Flittin'

Getting the Messages In would be Shopping

Sleep would be Hae'in a Kip

Short Hall - Gauin Doon the Water?

Love all these names!
Relationships could be Winchin'

Love love love "Winchin'"

Becoming Pregnant - Up the Duff?

Surely Relationships would be Are Ye Dancin?

Childbirth - Are Ye Better Yet?

Goady Fuckers could be Nippy Sweeties?

Haha, "Nippy Sweeties" , brilliant!!!

I once got a severe ticking off on MN for nippy sweetie - apparently it's sexist and demeaning to women I stuck 2 fingers up at the screen

Parenting has to be Weans World, surely? Love all of the Scottish words (even allowing for their weegie slant..) - esp winchin and peely wally!

Really?
Don't they know it means actual sweetie, like soor plume?
How can an item of confectionary be sexist?
Erse

It was because men are never called nippy sweeties apparently. A couple of us disputed that claim and explained about the sour sweet connection, but no - it's a sign that the patriarchy is alive and well. Or something.

Erses indeed

Clearly they have never met my BIL (who I love) who is the absolute definition of Nippy Sweetie. We put it down to small man syndrome.
I too can also be a bit nippy. I am also short.

Childbirth - is Yer fanny like a pun a mince?

I've never heard of Nippy Sweetie. I think we should leave Goady Fuckers, since I coined the phrase. [claim to fame]

Do we need more East Coast phrases then?

Oh, and I forgot to say that I don't find Nippy Sweetie sexist, but then since I'd never heard of it, I can't really judge!

That was you?
Excellent

Food could be Yer tea's oot! or Ye'll huv hud yer tea?
Apologies if these are exclusively Glasgow patter, not sure of other local sayings.

There's another good purpose: I will have a place to ask things like WHY is it called going for messages?
