[quinie]

Found it! skycie means unsporting

[quinie]

Hi,slaney,found it in my Teach Yourself Doric book but I must admit I've never heard it before.

[scorpiojo]

:-)

[slaney]

Hi quinie, having a quick look through it now - I can remember my mother telling me I looked peelie-wally....

[scorpiojo]

Please translate? :)

[quinie]

Hi again,scorpiojo,sorry for the delay- I was at a fashion show tonight. Peelie wally means sickly or pale . slaney,i was always thrawn (stubborn) and hallyrackit (boisterous)lol.I've enjoyed looking through the book

[boxtops]

My MIL use to use peely-wally...

and describing a woman as Hackit, very uncomplimentary!

[scorpiojo]

Thanks again, quinie. I've always been thrawn lol.

Thank you, boxtops. Won't ask what that means ;-)

[ladyalex]

Trust me, it's not nice....to be described as hackit I mean....

I have to admit to being thrawn too, especially when the weather is dreich or if there's a guy snell wind blawin'

[scorpiojo]

Lol :)

[quinie]

My Granny spoke the Doric-our English relatives (and some of our Scottish ones!!) couldn't understand her.Off to bed now-I'm fair forfochen (very tired;exhausted) Gweed nicht!
