Was reading a previous post where the OP used the word 'pish' and I was surprised that many people hadn't heard this phrase. So its got me wondering if any of our non Scottish friends know any of our slang words? Or have you heard one that you need translated?

"Greet? "

Has a couple of meanings. In Scotland it mainly means cry. As in "stop greetin ya wee fud" or "im so knackered I could greet"

It can be tricky even for Scots lol. That is a tricky phrase as well. 'Wain/wean' can also be 'bairn' or 'wee loon' in some parts.

no apology required. Which part of Scotland do you get to visit for work? Scenery can be breathtaking up here.
