[HowardKennitby]

[sandyRoe]

[albaqwerty]

The hangover cure is Irn Bru, a mars bar and a good sh!t :D

Still loved it tho Star.

[boxtops]

Somedy ye know his used a fitba schedule tae plan thur wedding day date.

Yes, I know someone like that.

[starone]

Don't ask me howard but it sounds funny. Perhaps sandy will tell us.

[albaqwerty]

A single nugget is a slice of ice cream between 2 wafers, a double nugget is twice the pleasure :)

[sandyRoe]

I dinne kin Starbuckone. Am no Scottish

[boxtops]

There you go starby http://www.firstfoot.com/dictionary/d.html

[boxtops]

I'm a little worried by that dictionary at

Dokey

A penis as in "Sook mah dokey"

Where goes this leave people who say "Okey Dokey"??

[starone]

Thanks boxtops. Everyone, especially howard, it's a two pound coin. Logical, really, isn't it.

[wolf63]

I vividly remember being asked "furry boots yae fae?" when I started working.






"Where about do you currently reside?"

I was totally confused by it - and I am Scottish ;-)

[MarkRae]

I'd say at least 50% of those words and phrases are made up, and some are taken straight from Gaelic. Which Scot, unless speaking Gaelic, ever used "scrieve" to mean "write"?

[tinkerbell23]

Clarty i think is meant to be clatty!

I use all of those words! Not so much cludgie... A dubble nuggit or double nougat is what you get off the ice cream van x

[tinkerbell23]

Oh sorry alba you explained! Hahaha double one is the chocolatey bit of nougat! The parentals love them..and an oyster x

[wolf63]

My mum used clarty to mean filthy.

[MarkRae]

Clarty = dirty, muddy.

[albaqwerty]

Hi Tinks. Clarty and clatty mean the same thiing tho don't they?! (Ugh)

We haven't had an ice cream van round here for over a year now :(
Mr Alba liked his single nugget. The occasional double when we were flush x

[HowardKennitby]

Furry boot is Doric, which is not really Scots.

[albaqwerty]

They talk funny on the East Coast :D
