18th November 2021.

Hello to you beautiful awesome reader. Have you told yourself that you are flipping awesome today? Well say it now, on three, one two three, I AM AWESOME.

Right here we go, let's have some fun today, it is a wonderful day. Seriously awesome.

In fact, today has been Pure dead brilliant (Exceptionally good). Rangers have signed our new manager. Only our 17th manager in 150 years!

Every time I try to plan an article, but the time in the evening I sit down and write it I have changed tack and am writing something totally different. Sataboot?

Sataboot?

Do you know what this word is .... Sataboot? Remember in Scotland we say aboot for about. So Sataboot now is Sat about ... and Sat is a quick way to say What's that...

So Sataboot is What's that about! Now try to say it fast and it sounds like Sataboot.

Do you remember these two articles that I wrote:

Let me entertain you with a wee bit of Scots

Haste ye back!

In there I put some simple Scottish words like maw, coo, heid, chuffed and dreich plus some others.

Well, I was chuffed today with the new manager announcement so I thought let's give you a few sayings to say in your articles, who knows perhaps this might be part of the #ChristmasChallenge2021 . You do know I want to give my regular readers a chance as a reward for being loyal. (This will be our wee secret wink wink)

Today was a dreich day! (Today was cold, damp and miserable!) but it’s a braw bricht moonlicht nicht the nicht (It’s a brilliant bright moonlight night tonight)

This was a song from long ago sung by Harry Lauder, but we only really say that expression to tourists lol.

If there was no moonlicht (moonlight) you want to say that it's Black as the Earl of Hell’s Waistcoat! or that it's Pitch black!

Do you believe in fate? I am a firm believer in Whit’s fur ye’ll no go by ye! meaning What’s meant to happen will happen.

Now then for all of you parents out there, here is one for you! If you have a child that is being a wee bit naughty you might want to say to them if you don't behave I’ll gie ye a skelpit lug! or in English I’ll give you a slap on the ear.

Are you keeping up @Jelena you did want to hear some more Scottish slang or expressions! You can practise then when you are on the toilet lol.

Lately we have seen some plant articles from @Eylz2021 and @gertu13 , so when you look at some of their plant pictures you could point and day Whit dae ye cry thon yin? so you would be asking them What do you call that one?

Do you follow my nature articles about the park animals and Dafty in particular, I know @Sequoia likes too :)

Dafty is the Pomerian duck in the picture below, I name him Dafty because he is silly or daft. Gowk and Dighted also mean daft, but I couldn't really call him Gowky it does not have the same ring to it!

Hey Dafty is your name Gowky?

That was the response of Dafty when I asked him if he was called Gowky, he shook his head no!

Did you see how he was shaking his head, he was Gieing it laldy meaning he was doing it vigorously.

I told him Yer aff yer heid literally You’re off your head meaning you are a little bit daft.

Dafty told me to Haud yer wheesht! which means Be quiet.

So I told Dafty to Keep the heid! meaning to Stay calm, don’t get upset.

Dafty then said I’m fair puckled! meaning I’m short of breath.

I wanted to say to Dafty Hell mend ye meaning “it serves you right”! but I didnt, so I said Noo jist haud on! meaning Now just hold it or slow down, take your time.

Dafty said Ah dinnae ken meaning I don’t know.

I said to Dafty Hell slap it intae ye! meaning it’s your own fault!

Dafty said Am pure done in meaning I’m feeling very tired.

I said Ah umnae meaning I am not.

Dafty said Ma heid’s loupin’ meaning My head is sore.

I said Yer a pure nick meaning You don’t look very presentable.

Dafty said Yer bum’s oot the windae meaning You’re talking rubbish.

I told Dafty Yer aff yer heid meaning You’re off your head or a little bit daft.

Dafty said Ma heid’s mince meaning My head’s a bit mixed up.

Meanwhile Ah let wan go meaning I broke wind or I farted

Dafty did a Do yer dinger. meaning Loudly express disapproval.

Then Dafty said Gonnae no’ dae that! meaning Going to not do that.

By this time, I had to go and we said good bye, but before we went our separate ways I said to Dafty Lang may yer lum reek! meaning May you live long and stay well.

Before I say The baw’s on the slates meaning Game over. (As kids we played football in the street. If the ball landed on a roof, the game was over.)

Just remember that :

  • Failing means yer playin! meaning When you fail at something at least you’re trying!

  • Mony a mickle maks a muckle! meaning Saving a small amount soon builds up to a large amount!

  • Dinnae marry fur money! meaning Don’t marry for money because you can borrow it cheaper!

And last but not least let's remember that We’re a’ Jock Tamson’s bairns! meaning We’re all God’s children, nobody is better than anybody else – we’re all equal.

I hoped you enjoyed today's ramblings in Scottish:)
