glaikit, adj, stupid, foolish

Scots have an amazing capacity for insulting each other. Glaikit seems to be one of our oldest terms for describing someone who is not intellectually blessed.

The Scottish dialetic is very broad, and difficult to explain on the forum if you go into a bookshop, you can pick up books which explain how to say the different phrases or sayings .depends what part if Scotland. Your living in Glasgow has a whole language of it's own compared to other areas

Central Scotland

"“Gies a swatch o yer fanny”

“Can you show me your vagina?”

To add to that basic of the vernacular, boabie (bow like ribbon tied prettily, bee like buzz) is penis.

'Dinnae fash yersel' is a personal favourite. 'don't get all emotional/don't worry yourself'

'thrawn' is a perfect adjective for many - Scots word for stubborn to the point of self destruction.

Doric up here in these parts

A Dons fan won’t be mortally embarrassed if Aberdeen lose to Buckie Thistle, but he will be “black affrontit.”

When you know you know someone, but you just can’t put your finger on where you know them from, there’s only one thing worth saying: “A ken a ken im, but a da ken far a ken im fae.”

The bonnie haddies in the Priory haven’t slapped on too much make-up. They’ve absolutely “clarted” it on.

But what’s a quine to do when she’d otherwise be described as having the following?

A face like a weet dish-cloot

A face like a skelpit airse

A face that wid soor milk

A quine doing the ‘walk of shame’ down Union Street at 11am on a Sunday isn’t an unkempt person. She’s a “hallyrackit craiter.”

Your pal isn’t asking you for a piece of chuddy halfway up Bennachie when she says, “Hing on a minty.” She’s saying, “Wait for me!”

Hanging out in Schuh on a Saturday afternoon, you won’t hear anyone say, “Which foot fits which foot?” But you will hear “Fit fit fits fit fit?”

When a chilled out teuchter can’t get a lift into town on a Saturday night, he doesn’t say it’s water off a duck’s back. He says it’s “tatties oer the dyke.”

Fit a lad! Hopefully someone will save the day by saying, “Are ye needin a hurly?” (Would you like a lift?)

When a mannie’s proud of having an exceptionally beautiful girlfriend, you’ll probably find him pumping his chest outside the Co-op, saying “Ma quine is affa fine.”

You can’t help yourself. It’s just too easy to tease your newly “baaldie-heidit” (bald) pal.

After getting “drookit” (drenched) in the rain on what was meant to be a nice day out to Dunnottar Castle, you don’t exclaim that you’re totally knackered. You say, “Am fair forfechan!

After a heavy sesh at Aberdeen Sports Village, you don’t have sweaty armpits. You “ave minky oxters

Saw a brilliant video of an American visiting Glasgow.

'Let's see if we can get this bonnie lassie to say something Scottish for the camera', reply was 'Get that fuckin camra oot ma face or ah'll shove it up yer arse ya fuckin p***o'.

Ends with him shouting 'Up the RA' to a couple of guys in rangers shirts, thinking it means come on the rangers. Funnily enough, that's where the video cuts out...

Whit ye dain? - WTF

Mad raj - temper tantrum or violent person

Bawheid - a lesser form of Bawbag

A supper - a meal from the chippy

Skoosh- fizzy juice in Glaswegian

Stanes- testicles

Also, cunt has a different meaning depending on the situation, it could be friendly, insulting or inciting all depending on the situation or tone of voice. Also we use swear words as adjectives like “he’s just cunted it into a tree”

Scotland, where we call mates cunts and call real cunts mate!

I wonder how many other countries use the word 'glass' as a verb?

Wanking chariot - bed.

A favourite saying of mine, 'Useless bastard canny fuck, fight or wheel a barrow'. Not sure if it's specifically Scottish though.

And to paraphrase our national bard, 'Faint heart never fucked a pig'. Maybe not how Burns put it exactly but I think it sums up the same sentiment!
