Well Met?

[CDNSushi]

While until Jock posted I had never seen "Outwith" before. I now find that Outwith is a uniquely Scottish word so perhaps that is why.

I was going to say the exact same thing myself, but Steve beat me to it. "Outwith" until I saw Jock using it here, has never been a term I've encountered before, nor does any standard dictionary I use, seem to think it's an actual word. That's when I concluded that it might be a unique Jock-ism (nothing wrong with that -- I make up my own words too as I go along), OR it was a very Scottish thing.

English is a fascinating topic. Especially when you start introducing some of the less mainstream varieties, like East Indian English, or Filipino English... Both have some very unique quirks as well.
