You Know You Are a True Scot If....

[MacCathmhaoil]

Reminds me of my ex's family, a good solid Glaswegian family. Too funny!
Thanks for that, many funny memories! Makes me think there should be a permanent joke thread here, we could all use a daily smile!!!

[beloitpiper]

Funny! I think I can claim about half of those things...

[Ozark Ridge Rider]

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!

I've BEEN to Auchtermuchty- does that count?

[The Kilted Reverend]

I have a friend from Scotland named McConnechie I assume they are pronounced the same.

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.

No way to qualify for me.

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

[Brandane]

Ah the memories. And oh so true.

I say old chap, spiffing good show.
Jolly boating weather and a hay harvest breeze.
Kind wishes.
