Let me entertain you with a wee bit of Scots

July 26th 2021 0046 Hello you awesome Readers. Today is Monday when most of you will be reading this. I hope you had a wickedly fun filled fabulous weekend! Some people don't like Mondays, they get dem Monday blues! Well a day is a day in my book, they can be good, they can be awesome or they can be not so good. So to uplift your mood I thought I would write something a wee bit different today. I have put all the stories away for the day, don't worry they will all be back with more instalments and chapters this week. Now then, some of you will know I use the word **wee** quite often. Some of you I even address as wee, some of you know what it means, some of you don't. I tend to speak in English on noise and read, so you can all understand. However little by little I will use Scottish slang words, some of you even use **arse** now ;) ( yes I am looking at you @Loveleng18 hehe) I believe that they now call words and phrases like these, Scottishisms now! Today, we will play a wee game :) I shall give approximately ten words that we use often daily in Scotland, so why not see if you can guess the meanings. I will give the meaning and use in a sentence and let's see where this leads us. **Wee** **Wee** is probably my most used word. It means **small** or **little** and is often a term of endearment when used to refer to a person. Example *What a* ***cute*** *wee pup. Means What a* ***cute*** *little puppy.* **Dreich** An appropriate word for cold wet miserable weather is **dreich**. (I think you Filipinos are having dreich weather) Example *The weather is* ***dreich****! The weather is* ***wet and miserable****!*

**Chuffed** This is one of my favourite words, and it is a feel good word. I used it today in a comment on the article from @emily2u congratulating on her achievement of reaching 1BCH. https://read.cash/@emily2u/1-bch-achieved-4-months-ahead-of-target-date-huge-shout-out-c8963a8b My comment was : `One word to you Emily ...... AWESOME .... I am on 0.7 and my birthday is August 17th I am trying for it then and you so will nail 2 BCH by yours, I expect 3 BCH for you by then!! Congratulations I am chuffed for you.`

So **chuffed** means **happy** or **proud**. **Maw** This one seems appropriate here in readcash and in noisecash too. *Example Mrs P (* @Bloghound ) *is maw to her mini me!* **Maw** means **mother**. **Bonnie** Now I am sure some of you know this one. Example *See that* ***bonnie lassie*** *holding the* ***bonnie flower****.* Means *See that* ***beautiful young lady*** *holding the* ***pretty flower****.* So **bonnie** can mean **beautiful/pretty** **Boke** If something is so smelly or so disgusting that you want to be sick/vomit then it would the time to use **boke**! Example *The* ***smell*** *was so* ***rank*** *I nearly boked! Means The smell was so* ***bad*** *that I nearly* ***vomited****.* **Bisom** I think many of you reading this are **wee bisoms**! Example *She is a* ***wee bisom****! Means she is a* ***naughty little woman/girl****!* So **bisom** refers to females (usually human, but can be for animals too) But the naughty is in the mischievous sense, so it is not that bad a term really! **Heid** Example *Yer aff yer heid!* Okay so this a wee phrase. I have not put the meaning yet, because I read the latest story from the wonderful @snapping.turtle which you can read here . I started to read her article in the voice of a Scottish pirate as soon as I saw head I was saying **heid**! https://read.cash/@snapping.turtle/free-me-ye-hear-7dd51760 So **heid** is **head**, and ***Yer aff yer heid****! means* ***you are off your head****, in other words* ***mad*** *!* **Coo** What sound does a cow make? Example *It goes moo doesn't it, so a* ***cow*** *is really a* ***coo****!* `For those of you, who have been following the wizard stories, have you guessed what really happened?` **Jobbie (Jobby)** I have to leave this one till last! **Jobbie** or **Jobby** (they mean the same, just different spellings) is well have you guessed it. It means a 💩, a poo. Do you say poo or pooh, I always say jobbie because the bear is called Winnie the Pooh! Example *I need a* ***jobbie the noo****! I need a* ***poo now****!* Can you make a wee sentence or two using these words? How about this. It was a **dreich** day, and I thought I would go for a **wee** walk to see your **maw**. On the way I was fair **chuffed** because I saw a **bonnie coo** that shook it's **heid**. It was a **bisom** though and decided to have a **jobbie** and I nearly had to **boke**!

So there we have it, a fun way to use some Scottish words, it is fun to learn new things. I do my best to learn other languages, I love to improve and learn all the time. **Tell me what you think, do you want to learn some more? Did you learn anything? Why not use some or all of them in a comment below!** Here is a couple for you to tell me what you think they mean ? These are used daily! **Bawbag** **Clarty** ****Picture sources ......**** Lead Image from pixabay magicmomentartwork source https://pixabay.com/photos/road-sheep-rural-farm-animals-6467945/ Rain picture from pixabay PublicDomainPictures source https://pixabay.com/photos/rain-background-drop-weather-water-316579/ Cow picture from pixabay RoAll source https://pixabay.com/photos/cow-beef-herd-animal-pasture-cows-2416474/ **Thank you for reading you awesome beautiful people.** **Copyright** ****@TengoLoTodo**** **2021 and yes All Rights Reserved.
