Unusual Scottish Words
Tom
the Goal line.."
also
in the North East
Kenismin? Used before a statement - for example Kenismen - he wis an afa
ill nate ered buggeroaloon! Translated means he was displeased with the
boys behavour.
Fitsadeeweeim? Whats wrong with him? (medically normally)
Also two unique Glasgow words:
A Lumber
and
Nipping
use in night clubs. Not entirely sure of the true meaning. Normally
women 'Nip' men
and Men get a Lumber. " Ah nipped Jamesy last night', "No that wee gnaff
Jamesy"?
" Aye, him that gets a lumber every week"...
gnaff - a small unpleasant person that gets on ones nerves.
Bud - national drink of Scotland contrary to popular belief.
Also do you knwo where the Highland fling originated? The ancient
Scottish tradition
of breaking a beer bottle (normally Bud) after one has drank it. In
clubs, some girls take their
shoes off for greater comfort. Several hundred years ago in Club30
Glasgow there was such
an occurance and some of the women danced about in pain. This was the
when the new dance originated. It still is danced to this day in modern
form In remembrance two bottles of
Bud are held - one in each hand. Sometimes one bottle can only be held
as the other
hand must be used to smoke ones 'Tab".

I would have mentioned the ruder ones but this is a family news group. You
can
use your own imagination for the following. I have much worse!
Wallaper!! (not to be confused with wall-paper which is something entirely
different)
as in 'I'm asking you nicely mate afore I get upset ye ***** wallaper'
(you can correct me on the spelling and further useage)
For a difinitive audio example see
http://www.angelfire.com/wi/plumber/
I need a subtle explanation on the difference between 'Seezza' and 'Geezza'
as in
'Gonny geeza boatel o irn bru big man'? or
'Seez some o yer juice ye wee fanny'
Also the difference between Juice and Ginger. I suppose Ginger is generic.
Another East coast one - old one this
an Orra Loon
Literal translation means a scruffy boy. In fact if my memory serves me
right it used to be the odd-job man in a farm.
However you could say
'He's an affa orro lookin loon'
or
'She's a coorse coorse quine'
both of which have nothing to do with farms.
coorse - nasty or spiteful
Probably one of the words used all over Scotland at one time and still used
(rarely)
Glaekit (spelling here?)
He's an awfa gleakit look aboot him?
Glaekit - forlorn - vacant.
To illustrate how different the North East is - accent or language apart I
take you back to my childhood
in Stonehaven. A typical conversation between two of my classmates (5 years
old!) would be:
" I tell ye min - the Davy Broons are better than the Fergies"
"Never!" "Ye canna beet the Internationals min" "Inta 5th gear - plooing up
the park"
If I tried to join the conversation I would be met by
"Fit de you ken aboot it"? "Y've niver drivven a tracter in yer life"!!!
(Lewis Grassic Gibbon went to the same school as me - a while ago though!)
The use of the word "Fergies" here should not be confused with the Man
United manager - though he did once work in this area at one time. Similarly
the Duchess of York though
often compared to a Tractor should not be confused.

and others did not
a Coaxy (spelling may be wrong) or a Coaxy-back means a Piggy-back.
The language changes fast and in my opinion at least (spent 17 years there)
the young people
use different language from the Elaine C Smith or Billy Collony school of
Glaswegian!
Even the French are in on the act. Many French students who have studied in
the West coast
now greet each other by the less familiar
"Ca-Va Grand Homme"?
which roughly translated mean "Hello big-man - how's it goin"?
or when angered:
"Je vais donnez un coup de bull"!
which means I am gonna give you a heid butt!!
or similarly
"Il lui donnez un coup de bull"
he gave him wan we the heid!

why do some Glaswegians put a certain word at the end of each sentence.
"The rains stoatin but"
why but???
also I have heard people refering to Irn bru - which has bubbles as
"Juice" ! (from another post)
Same goes for lemonade.

In Forfar, anything fizzy is referred to generically as "juice" (eg "whitn
kind o juice dje waant? Ahv goat Coke an Irn Bru")
In other parts of Scotland however, I've heard terms such as "scoosh";
"ginger" and "pop" all being used as the generic term for "fizzy soft
drinks".
Chewing gum is another one that fascinates me : in Forfar it's "channie"
(from the verb "chaa", to chew), in Stirling (IINM), it's "chunkie" and I've
also heard (in other places) "chuddie", "chundie" and "choonie" (last one
being Doric, IIRC).
Otherwise, one I still can't get used to is our Australian cousins' use of
the word "lollies", to mean "sweeties" (= candy to our North American
cousins).

It might be the word but, meaning 'without', as in 'but an ben'. It could
also be that it's a tag to focus attention. Remember that the words 'and'
and 'but' are frequently used at the start and end of sentences in English
so I can't say I find this to be in any way unusual. Do you know somewhere
where they aren't used thus?

Here is another word which may be Scottish but I am unsure.
Fanckle - you can fanckle out who is responsible or you can un-fanckle a ball
of wool or string.
"This cords a fankled up" - the power cable is all knotted.
Finnickey or finnichie - " Reparin this waatch is afae finnickey" - difficult to
explain this one except it means difficult in a manipulative way with your
hands.
In the West they use "Decked" to mean punched someone to the ground. May be used
in other parts of the UK. " Ah ***** nearly decked the wee ****"!
Square-Go- is uniqually Scottish and is used in the North East and in the West.
"Come on then min - square - go"!
(an invitation from a NED to a get beaten up!)
Skeel or even squeel! The school in some remoter parts of Aberdeenshire!
'Are yer bairnies a at the squeel"? (very common country one that!)
whiles - Foo are ye deein whiles?
How are you doing just now - old fashioned Doric farming saying to put "whiles"
at the end of a sentence.
A very rare one
Hud again' (or agin)
A mechanics one this - " I need a hud again' " To hold against when hammering
something.
Kist (pronounced that way) - a box full of belongings. "Its faain doon ahin the
kist"!
A farmer friend of mine (a relative in fact) once remarked to me on knowing that
I had
moved to Glasgow from the North East on their language - all in one mouthful he
said
"Glesga- Minatsanafalazywyospeekin-atis"!
Of course the Glaswegians often refer to Aberdonians as 'Sheep Shaggers' which
requires
little explanation. Strange indeed when you consider almost all of the sheep
reside on the western highlands and the north east is cattle country. However,
Aberdonians have embraced this label
and have a famous song they now sing at foorball matches.
"Red is the colour
football is the game
We shag sheep!
and Aberdeen is our name"!
there are worse ones...

Frae Auld Bob Peffers:That one is Cundy on condie. (Perhaps derived from
conduit),either a covered drain or an entrance to a drain. Really a tunnel
or passage, (sometimes a hole in the wall for sheep).

It's not old fashioned or for that matter aaldfarrant it's just the Scots
word for sometimes, moreover I'd imagine they'd say 'files' rather than
'whiles'. The F coming from Scandinavian influence in the NE of Scotland.
The V pronunciation is another NE variant.

Again/agin is just Scots for against and is often used in compounds as

If you're interested in Scots Tom I would recommend the following site to

Borrowed by Gaelic as "ciste" (KEESS-cheh).
Highland English makes a lot of use of "ock". For example, small" as
in a scrapock, a little scrap, and very commonly for name endings -
Beellock - Little Bill. ("Og" - awk - is Gaelic for young.)

Which reminds me of the one about the guy who claimed that he could
recognise *any* Scotch Whisky by taste. The barman made a deal that,
if he identified the Whisky, the drink was on the house.
Over a period of several weeks, this guy drank at the publican's
expense, naming each and every one correctly. The barman tried
all sorts of exotic and uheard of brands but every time, the punter
got it right. In desperation, the barman put urine in a bottle and, when
the guy appeared for his usual session, poured him one from the bottle.
He tasted it and immediately sprayed it out all over the floor,
"Jeez", he said, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, "that's
pish !"
"Aye, but WHOSE ??", said the barman.

Yup.. I know Ian's Scottish and all but it just seems like bad
grammatical construction to say "whisky and" under any circumstances.
One exception would be anytime Woodard comes over, when one uses
phrases such as: "Put down the whisky and get out!" "Hand over that
whisky and NOW!" "Touch that whisky and die!"

An utterly and totally unimagineable scenario, the very thought of which
fills me with fear and trepidation. Perhaps I might have to consider
giving up this genealogy stuff in case something like that turns up !
I cannot envisage having to slink out of s.c.s. due to the fact that, at
some point in the dim and distant past, I may have shared a common
ancestor with some of those rabid anti-Weegie trolls who visit from
either "alt.uk.edinburgh.misc" or "free.uk.talk.edinburgh".
It should be noted that these pseudo-SCOTS, living in the CAPITAL
city of Scotland tend to use UK newsgroups !! Tends to lend credence
to the theory that they are rapidly selling out to the *nglish. This
theory is currently the major topic of discussion in the bars of Govan
of a Saturday night, after all it only takes a short time for the
residents to agree that, once again, the Teddy Bears' display was,
"pure sh*te, by the way" and move on to a more stimulating topic.
This being Govan, only one other subject is suitable, (under the current
circumstances, any mention of the 'Tic would be extremely foolish)
that of our neighbour in the East (Q. If they're that good, why does
their river have no name, only a number ?)
Again the assembled company will probably agree and finally put
forward a similar summation, "Embra, pure sh*te, by the way" !
