Are any of these particularly Glaswegian?

Here's the ones I'm guessing are mostly Glasgow - the rest I've heard elsewhere (not just from Scots either - nut, lugs, conk, mitts and gob are all common south of the Border) -

Box, coupon/pan, ?bahookey (although Itchy Coo seems to use "bahookey" in its children's books to mean "haun"!), napper



i think this probably refers to the fact that they looked like they were made of porcelain/china. I always think of "wallies" as being the stuff auld wifies have on their mantelpiece.

How about this phrase - dinna nip ma heid!

That response was totally stupid. What is it with folk on this board that they have to attack each other at every bloody opportunity? No wonder you spend more of your time infighting than most anything else.

Well that's a pile o shit. A get oan wi everyone A've met aff here. Naen a've foond tae be disagreeable. Though thare are some A've foond mair freendly and helpful than others. That's doon tae individual personality. And every single one knowing I am on a low wage has bought me drink. (at least the anes a was sober enough tae remember )

Jist because we're aw want tae see a free Scotland doesnae mean we aw hae tae haud hands an be lovey dovey aw the time. Jist cause you're frae Embra


An besides a guid Scotsman haes tae keep a sherp swuird

A bide in Embra (as ye dae), A amny frae Embra.



Is that so he can stick it in his pal's back all the time? Dinna hink so.

Seems to be the favourite hobby of nationalists though, bloody infighting. That's why so many things turn to mush.

A dinnae bide in Embra at aw. A'm nearer the Borders than Embra an thare's feck all Embra aboot me





Is that a wee touch o the Scottish Cringe thare? If we're no fechtin ithers were fechtin oorsels. Like nae ither nation oan earth ever haed problems o that manner. Every ither country has been at peace since the Romans left.

Whit's wrang wi you? Haes somebody kicked yer dug or somethin. Yer gettin afae bitchy these days.

A dinnae see oany infechtin here. O course A've hae heard a few English say two Scots talkin sounds like an arguement.

I think ye need tae get oot Embra fir a bit

Let's think aboot returnin tae a modicum o decorum gentlemen....

And while you're at it:

"Away 'n take yer face fur a sh*te!"

Heard that yin on the famous 62 bus-route efter a drunk lassie had been approachit aboot pittin her fag oot....

Behave yersels please.

No, it's bitter experience. (And I'm thinking more of what has happened to others than to myself. Killed at least one of my relatives)

Aw richt a see. Ane o ma best mates got killed oan his bike. So therefore every person wi a bike will end up the same.

Ane o ma Dad's mates was murdered wi a dirk years ago. Faither still wore a dirk an didnae need tae decry oanywan else whae also wore ane. Trust people oan their actual deeds raither than whit ye micht think thay micht dae

Wis his dirk creh'd "McStabby" beh ony chance?
