    Hilarious. Amazing how many of those words have only changed a little and are still used in the Ozarks. Not so much now as a few years ago, but certainly enough to trace Scots heritage.

    Post more anytime, they're great!

    Ha'e nae bairn ta hoos. groon an away.
    An Alba lass comes into the store once a week. We have fun watching everyone else scratch there heids. After one of the visits, I left my piping tutor book out. My co-workers took only a quick look in real confusion---- I have a copy that is written in the Gaidhlig.

    Nice one Alex. It is a lot of years since I had a "double nugget" or even seen one. Embra just doesn't do stoaters like that! And of course in Glesga a Hindu is the last pigeon back in the race. I heard a politician referring to one party's votes disappearing "like snaw aff a dyke" the other day which would have puzzled our southern neighbours listening. Here's a few more -

    clabber
    cuddy
    scaffy
    wheech
    wallies
    tumshie
    stookie
    stoater
    shilpit
    In Glesga if you've kilt someone you haven't dressed them in a kilt, they're deid (brown bread)
    and my favourite - "a bowly leggit wee nyaff"
    ........ I could go on

    Yer used tae four seasons in wan day.
    Ye kin faw aboot pished withoot spilling yer drink.
    Ye measure distance in minutes.
    Ye kin mak hael sentences jist wae sweer wurds.

    Or if you only include these four, you could be a Texan.
