Haste ye back!

11th August 2021 2047 Hello you awesome readers. I hope you are having a fantastic week. It has been a very busy but productive week for me so far, but I am here to pop this wee one out. Some of you observant superstars might have noticed that at the end of my articles I always close the article with the following saying **Haste Ye Back!**  **Haste Ye Back** is a Scottish greeting that basically means **come back soon**. It is also written on signposts as you leave Scotland. So I am asking all of you to come back soon, a wee bit of wishful thinking on my part (but you never know, it might work)! A couple of weeks ago, I shared some Scottishisms or Scottish words here. https://read.cash/@TengoLoTodo/let-me-entertain-you-with-a-wee-bit-of-scots-65ef9bb4 Now if you so wish we will explore a few more today in this article. Listed below are ten words that we use often daily in Scotland, so why not see if you can guess some or all of the meanings. I will give the meaning and use it in a sentence. Then at the end let's see if you can make a couple of sentences using all of the ten words! **Doolally**  I think, no, I know many of you think I am actually doolally when I write about me talking to all the animals and trees lol. **Doolally means a wee bit crazy or not quite all there.** *Example I think it is the quack of Dafty that sends Eddie Wildlife* ***doolally.*** *Means I think it is the talking of Dafty that sends Eddie Wildlife* ***a wee bit crazy****.* **Braw** **Braw is used to describe something nice, good, pretty or beautiful.** It is getting more and more popular and can describe almost anything. *Example Yer piece looks really* ***braw****. Means Your sandwich looks really* ***nice****.*

**Messages** When you goto the grocery store here, or go and buy food then you have bought messages. **Messages means to do a food shop.** *Example I'm just nipping to Morrison's to do my* ***messages****. Means I am just going to Morrison's to* ***buy some food****.* **Naw** Quite simply, **naw means no**. Of course it does prefix maw quite a lot! *Example* ***Naw*** *maw I won't chore the braw car. Means* ***No*** *mother I won't steal the nice car.* **Bairn** **A bairn is a child.** Bairns is also the nickname of Falkirk Football Club, I don't actually no why, so I shall check google haha. *Example Thank goodness the* ***bairns*** *go back to school tomorrow. Means Thank goodness the* ***children*** *go back to school tomorrow* **Greet**  **To greet is to cry.** *Example She was so upset he broke her heart, she was* ***greeting*** *for days! Means She was so upset he broke heart, she was* ***crying*** *for days!* **Piece**  A **piece is a sandwich**, often used when having a lunch at school or work. *Example What's yer man made for your* ***piece*** *the day? Means What has your partner made for your sandwich today?*

**Chore** **Chore means to steal something.** *Example He went to prison because he* ***chored*** *a car. Means he went to prison because he* ***stole*** *a car.* **Skelp**  **When you give someone a skelp, you are giving them a slap.** *Example He was being cheeky so she* ***skelped*** *his heid! Means He was being cheeky so she* ***slapped*** *his head!* **Haver**  Well some of you know Dafty the Pomeranian Duck, who all the female ducks are daft about. Well he just loves to haver. **Haver means to talk nonsense!** *Example Whenever I see Dafty, half the time he is* ***havering****! Means Whenever I see Dafty, half the time he is* ***talking*** ***nonsense****!*

He forgot to pay and **chored** a **braw** wee cake. When he got home his maw said **naw piece** for you, and gave him a **skelp** on the arse that made him **greet**. **Thank you for reading you awesome beautiful people.** https://read.cash/@TengoLoTodo/let-me-entertain-you-with-a-wee-bit-of-scots-65ef9bb4#thank-you-for-reading-you-awesome-beautiful-people **Copyright** ****@TengoLoTodo**** **2021 and yes All Rights Reserved.
