Scots colloquialisms
I'm putting together my presentation for the Girl Scout in Feb. I've got most of what I need, but would like to get a few words and phrases that are distinctively Scottish.
I've tried the internet search, but have come up with either stuff with no translation (don't want to say naughty things to minors) or stuff that I hear a couple English friends say quite commonly, but are attibuted to Scotland on the web. Example: Cheesered. A friend from London says this pretty often to imply she's very happy.
What would be great is if someone could tell me where to purchase recordings of native speakers so I don't mangle the pronounciation. The scouts hearing that would be better than me stumbling over it.
I wish I believed in reincarnation. Where's Charles Martel when you need him?
