The Chase

[rogie]

Tonight on The Chase, Bradley said a word and asked what was it Scottish slang for..The answer was whiskey, but I had never heard the term. Does anyone know what the word was. Thanks

Was it 'the cratur'?

[rogie]

No Douglas.....I'm sure it started with S

[Mamyalynne]

Sherry bomb

Like “peat monster,” this means a heavily sherried whiskey and is often reserved for those of the high-ABV variations. —Russell

Slop

Spilt liquid on the floor of the rickhouses. —Russell

Sugar barrel

A special barrel tasted straight from inside the rickhouse. —Russell

[rogie]

Mamyalynne....No not that, which is the gaelic for whisky. He asked a scottish slang word that started with S and the answer was whisky. Didn't catch what the word was and wondered if anyone had.

Swally?

[Mamyalynne]

[douglas9401]

[maggiebee]

70 year old Scot here and I have never heard this word before. Whisky (no e) or a drappie for me.

[rogie]

maggiebee....I am quite sure the spelling in the subtitles was incorrect. The way it was pronounced, sounded like there should have been an "M" at the end. Wondered if it was a gaelic word but my husband is a gaelic speaker and has never heard of.
