Thank you.

This list looks pretty good to me, but Hannah will be able to tell you if there's any Scottish regional bias to it or the like. See also here and here.

I think they are pretty legit, rather than having been extracted from timeless-1930s-throwback cartoon Oor Wullie or similar.

That list's pretty good actually. I've herad most of them in Glasgow.

Yeah, that's a good list, apart from the fact that, apart from in a few cases, it doesn't specify what region the phrase/word comes from. As s00 noted, there's a definite Glaswegian bias to it - "Weegie" is probably the most popular regional dialect, of course.

I'm not much use, really, as my background is in the Gaeldom area, where Gaelic words are generally used in place of where Scots words are used in more lowland areas. And now I live in Aberdeen, which has its very own language (Doric) which I'm not even going to go into because argh.

I say stick with Chris' list and you won't go wrong.

*laughs* I honestly had no idea there were actually different languages going on. The things you learn because of an RPG...

SQUEE! Thank you so much!!

Canny means mean with money in Scotland.

Bonnie lassie would be used by people older than 50 to describe a pretty girl.

My mum says amn't I? instead of aren't I.

Hen and </i>Pal</i> are used as endearments in Glasgow, although it tends to be by strangers.

To save us getting into a comprehensive debate over the linguistics of Northern Britain, though I'm not contradicting you at all in what you say, did you ever read The Dandy at the time? Did you have much affection for The Jocks and the Geordies?

Thank you!
