Quizmonster where do you get your information

Question Author

Ok peoples ive just found it in the Collins pocket Scots Dictionary , Its a west coast saying , Im east coast


Self explanetary isnt it !!!

Yes, I am Scottish, Geo, though I no longer live there...now resident in the effete south, I'm afraid. I became aware of 'chib' only whilst doing National Service with lots of Glaswegians in the mid-fifties. I came from Aberdeenshire where the word was not commonly used back then, though I have sometimes heard it there more recently.
Maybe, Fordward, it's because I'm in my 69th year and you are obviously of an age to have missed the glories of military life! Cheers

Quizmonster I did 15 years in the RAF so i didnt miss too much Cheers the noo
Ah! I did say 'maybe' you missed the life, F. I have to say I'm a bit surprised that you didn't hear 'chib' during your service.
I myself did spend later years as a military officer, but picked up 'chib' as a mere erk. Maybe you missed out on the 'Other Ranks' aspect of things altogether? ('Chib' was not a very common word, I found, in the Officers' Mess, old boy!) Cheers
Question Author
Quizmonster I am the "other ranks" but hey we cant all be perfect can we! ,nice talking to you. now Ill do a smart salute, about turn and march smartly out.
I wouldn't have missed either side of the military 'divide' for the world, F. Both were an 'education' in their different ways and I thoroughly enjoyed them. I never considered myself to be any more 'perfect' in my later role than I had been in my earlier one. Let's just consider ourselves ex-comrades-in-arms.
(Should I say ..."Carry on, Sarnt!"...before you march smartly out?)
