While speaking away to my Manchester born manager I asked if he was trying to swick me, he’d no idea what it meant

Swick to me means cheat

He’d also never heard of a clootie dumpling or a cloot (Cloth)

Any other phrases you guys have used that completely confuses those you’re talking to?

They must be

Maybe it should be a question of “Does your region have any phrases understood by locals”

Yes I’ve heard them all but I’m originally Dundee where there’s a lot of strange words. “A plehn ane n an ingin’ ane an a’ “

I was surprised to read in a paper during the week that “ outwith” - as in “no parking outwith the following hours” - is a Scottish word.

Yeah the Cloot in Clootie Dumpling is the cloth I can confirm

I’m actually spelling swick wrong it should be Swic or Swik in old Scots

Bit of a google

“Gaelic survived as the spoken language of Angus well into the feudal period, but it was probably superseded by the Scots language by the thirteenth century, at least in lowland Angus.”

Aye like the Aberdonian shoe shop:

Assistant - "fit like fit fit ma quine?"

Which for the uninitiated is "how well does your foot fit dear lady?"

Ironic considering it’s on the side of a restaurant that is absolutely disgusting
