We’ve been arranging a meet with a girl down in England for the end of March and she really likes Scottish terms and slang.

Anyone got any interesting of fun scottishisms that we can share with her?

We’ve covered obvious ones like “taps aff” and “hod yer wheesht” so any more unusual ones would be great

A bit more Dundonian than general Scots but this has got to be one of my favourite sentences in the world:

"twa pehs, a plehn bridie an' an inyin in an' a'"

Phonetic bliss haha

"I believe "tumshy" is a word. I'm not born and bred Glasgow so I'm not big on the words lol x"

Yup, means turnip!

A Scottishism that seems to baffle folk (I didn't even realise it was a Scottish thing until recently!

) is "back of" when used to describe a time.

Eg "I'll meet you at the back of 3"... to me fairly obvious I mean "just after" but others don't seem to have a clue!

Also up in Aberdeen the word "fine" is used to describe something tasty- "ah that was a fine burger I just had" or "fancy a fine piece?"

They also have bosies!

I know it's not a funny one but I recently found that only Scots use the word "outwith".

My favourite Scottish term is Baw-heid.

Stappit fu’ = full up

Puckle,pucklie, tickie = units of measurement

Also in North East Scotland, some of the older folk used to say ‘half five’ meaning half an hour BEFORE five o’clock(I.e. 4.30) instead of the ‘modern’ meaning of half an hour AFTER five o’clock. Confuses people from outwith the area(and some within)!

the land of unicorns and fairytales

Wouldn’t go near it with a ten foot barge pole

Like chucking a fag up a close

Village bike, everyone’s had a ride

Look wi your eyes naw your hands

I’ve seen more meat on a jockeys whip

More bellends than weekends

If you were chocolate you would eat yourself

Don’t look at the mantle when you’re poking the fire

South Side.

"I believe "tumshy" is a word. I'm not born and bred Glasgow so I'm not big on the words lol x

Yup, means turnip!

A Scottishism that seems to baffle folk (I didn't even realise it was a Scottish thing until recently!

) is "back of" when used to describe a time.

Eg "I'll meet you at the back of 3"... to me fairly obvious I mean "just after" but others don't seem to have a clue!

Also up in Aberdeen the word "fine" is used to describe something tasty- "ah that was a fine burger I just had" or "fancy a fine piece?"

They also have bosies!

It might come from Gaelic,. Tar eis a tri,.. air eis, means behind. The Scottish equivalent of Hiberno English.

If you think some of the things I put down in writing is bad, you should see what goes through my head.
