Today it’s time for another lesson in Scottish words and/or phrases. I wonder how many you’ll understand, never mind know!

  1. Face like a wet weekend
  2. We’re a’ Jock Tamson’s bairns!
  3. Drookit
  4. Shoogle
  5. Stour
  6. Peely-walley
  7. Tattie
  8. Feerty (not sure about spelling!)
  9. Hoose
  10. Reekin

Any ideas what any of the above means, or are they all a foreign language to you?

Here’s the meaning of each of the above:

  1. Looking unhappy or annoyed
  2. We’re all God’s children, nobody is better than anybody else – we’re all equal
  3. Soaking Wet
  4. Shake or jiggle
  5. Dust
  6. Pale or wan
  7. Potato
  8. Scared or frightened
  9. House
  10. Stinking or smelly

So how did you get on? Confused or feeling quite pleased with yourself for knowing them all?

  1. Nice to see our dialect, Dorothy. Braw. This means very nice, very good or attractive. Do you ken what i mean?
    Here is a universal term understood through any language or dialect – Grace and peace from God the Father, God the Son, Lord Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit. Amen
