[wolf63]

Howard - it is all a mishmash these days. Bits of old Scots and bits of regional words.

[Slapshot]

You want to be an Ayrshireman living in Aberdeenshire...I need a translator

[albaqwerty]

Slap I feel your pain. Everyone is called Ken :)

[sasskins]

This is a scots langauage peculiar to certain areas tho' isn't it star? My family are from the Hebrides, and I've never heard them use any of that.

[sasskins]

*language

[MarkRae]

I received a similar collection to this a while back. "You know you're an islander if"

You walked into what you thought was your own empty house to find that a
friend of your gran's has let himself in and is making himself a pot of
tea on the stove.

You slip into the Gaidhlig inadvertently in the middle of sentences.

You insist that your lowland friends that they call you by your Gaelic
name and that it's not that hard to pronounce Domhnall Aonghas MacAmhalghaidh.

You have never been a farmer, but have a barn out the back just for good
measure.

You thought Pizza Hut was a place you could buy fuel for the fire.

You have a relative who has a disused loom in the barn who is waiting
for the tweed business to pick up.

You have realised that you and all your cousins look exactly the same,
but still think your immediate family is best as you have a brother at
Glasgow University.

You saw your first tree on the mainland.

You are convinced that your own island is the only one that speaks Gaelic properly, and even then, you have your doubts about the North end. As for the folks from Islay, that gibberish is practically Irish!

[funnygirl]

I have heard the term Peely Wally and still don't know what it means!!!

[wolf63]

Mark - they are quite good. I have never been on a Scottish Island - unless you count Moncrieffe island which is in the middle of the River Tay.

[albaqwerty]

Peely Wally very very pale.

LOL at seeing a tree on the mainland. The Orcadians know how long their tree is tho.

[HowardKennitby]

peelie -wally, (1) adj., sickly, feeble, pallid, wan, thin and ill-looking

[sasskins]

They have used that - peely wally

[boxtops]

I still use peely-wally - and just to be confusing - your false teeth are also your wallies, and a china ornament can be a wally dug.
