Don't particularly like it either but here's my take.

I've got a dear friend who loves Scotland and things Scottish. Almost every time he sees me, especially kilted, he talks to me in some Rabbi Burns kind of accent. Am I going to tell him to go away and boil his head? No, you don't throw your granny off the bus.

There's a couple of Scottish expressions for you. Some things friends do are worth putting up with. The Wickerman epic earned p1m the right to carry on.
