Sometime you just need a good bit of Scots slang from time to time!

What's your favourite word or saying?

A house, a very big house in the country

Hmmm well not being a fellow Scot I don't know that many. I'll have to think on this one.

I'm Glasgow originally and when I was young a word we used for something that was really good was saying 'that's gemmy'

Haven't heard it for years and don't know if it's still a Glasgow word?

My favourite Scottish word is Bahookie!

Has anyone seen the band Bahookie? I think they're from Glasgow. They're awesome!
