Don't take that personally anyone

My Sister sent my hubby a Scottish ' thinking of you ' 'card after on op. last year
3 Old guys in front with the wording:
Heard ye wurnie weel - it's your roon when yer better !
My Daughter born & bred in SA asked - What's ' your roon ? ' Hilarious as was the card .

It was a speugh in Kilmarnock. A stuckie was a starling.

Hey , neg it or ahll melt ye wan. ...... stop it or I will assault you.

Tapnapol : Been here almost 47 years and Hubby & I still speak about speugs with reference to the smaller birds in our garden, some words never leave you.

I was reminded yesterday of "PEELS" - i.e. to indicate something was equal. I think we used to use it when playing "stones, scissors, paper".

Having a wee look back at some posts here, realised I was singing ( in my head ) We're no awa tae bide awa lol! Remembered one time after a frustrating but minor argument with my hubby (American), saying ach away and bile yer heid! He stood, shooders back, hands on hips, and said 'No, you go away and boil your own head!' I thought I'd die laughing! Just the other day I was talking to one of my sons and told him when he was about 4 or 5 he said 'timt' as in empty, I was startled, it's not a word I use asked him what it meant and he said 'empty'.

Stones, scissors, paper is known here as Eazy-Azay-oo.
Just thought you'd need to know that.

Meekan, Sort of affronted to say this. When i was about 12 or 13 me and my pal went into this local supermarket and stuffed 2 or 3 six pack biscuits up our JUKSIE.
