Here are the official answers to the Scots words of the last post. Just visit Adullamite's fine fair and balanced unbiased blog for those and many more. I really enjoyed them. You will too.I also picked up a few from his blog that he didn't give the answers to. Maybe you can help.
1. Hibernatin' supporter
2. Good Snog (like there is such a thing as a bad snog. Ok, I knew this one)
3. Tunnock's snowball
4. Wheelie buns
5. Old Firm fan
6. Gormless
Finally, a free one from me to you: Puggled is knackered.
As in, "I am plum sick and knackered of the British always telling the same hilarious (to them) joke about the American tourist lady who got off the bus and proclaimed loudly about how sore her fanny was from the long ride." Woudja just stoppit with that one?
Not being a Scot, I don't know any of them. Wheelie Buns however, might just be the way they pronounce "wheelie bins" which are large plastic trash cans with wheels on the bottom. Same as the ones in the States. Or it could be something incredibly rude!
ReplyDeletePeople are incredibly rude about wheelie bins in the UK that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've actually read gormless, but it was in reference to a Yorkshireman (using his accent). What does that mean?
ReplyDeleteGormless? It's just a person who no longer has his gorm.
