mad wae it - drunk
nugget - idiot
KD - kitchen devil (knife)
e.g 'I'm going to get mad wae it, slip the KD down my trackies then go out and chib marckee, cos he's a nugget (also a cunt)'

it's pronounced ye-dee disappointingly

but VERY tongue in cheek. It's not really one I've used that often.

What about 'dingy' (sounds like dinghy), as in to ignore or avoid.

Strokes and folks, I suppose. Imma go mash the tea.

thank you THANK YOU. I think i might have done a little bit of wee.

Or before afternoon tea.

It's be frightfully gauche of one to do so.

i think this may have just been in my school

it's basically the Scottish equivalent of pwn.

pretty much 'stoap it'. like if you were on the school bus and some we radge was flicking your ear from the seat behind, you'd turn round and be all 'GONNAE WRAP IT'.

No ones said yet.

I'm marrying a scot next month, wish me luck

my mum says this a lot, to refer to many, many people, and I have no idea what the fuck it actually means. 'has bawjaws arrived to pick the wean up yet?' = has the person who was supposed to pick up the child arrived to carry out this task yet?

not actually sure if anyone outside of a childhood friend used this, but 'shanter' is usually used to describe shit modes of transport eg. "that's a pure shanter of a van, maaannnnnn"

i thought it was just MsOeuf's spelling.

= outside loo

meaning penis.

you are a pure fucking dobber by the way

LEFT THEM BEHIND WHEN YOU WERE ROBBING OUR SHEEP, BASTARDS.

you're all weird.

I mean, I like a lot of scottish accents, but making up loads of words like this is not on. Cut it out.

teaches my other housemate (Icelandic) all these Glaswegian phrases, which she can repeat in the dialect and all with amazing accuracy.

something which is rubbish. 'That motor's a shanner'

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Bob%20Malcolm

A phrase to describe a situation where a male has been with a female but did not achieve sexual intercourse.
Neil - "So Grant, bang that slag last nite?"
Grant - "Nah, i got Bob Malcolmed!"
bob malcolm bob malcolm didnt get my hole balls are huge

a fight, an argument, a brawl, a riot

as in, "i'm doggin biology, fuck that shite". ie. skiving.

also, nobody's mentioned 'baltic' yet. "it's pure baltic in here, i'm freezin ma baws aff"

Don't act it, wee man.

which means 'stop pretending about something, friend'.
I remembered pure tons of phrases last night and now i've forgotten them again. (oh- 'pure'!)

No explanation needed.

playpiece (snack)

pure is perhaps one of the more important words in the Scottish slang vernacular. a few people, including me, have dropped it in this thread (and probably elsewhere on the board throughout time), but no one has explained its use. it doesn't refer to the more common use, meaning clean or innocent or unpolluted - instead 'pure' switches between being a bit of a filler word, like Scotland's version of 'like', and meaning...I guess 'extremely' would the right word to use.

for example:
and she was, pure, 'GONNAE SHUT IT' (here 'pure' is replacing 'said')
it's pure roasting in here (this could be translated as 'it's very warm in this room')

and he was, pure, goin' aff his nut (here 'pure' could be mistaken as meaning 'extremely' but is actually acting as a filler whilst the speaker groped for the apt phrase to complete their sentence and accurately convey how enraged the subject of the conversation was)

getting embarrassed, causing your face to go red.

e.g.: I decked it in the street and hit a pure beemer. oh man, coulda died.

but none of dreer? (sp?) dreir? which i think is subtly different. I think it means overcast and drizzle, or something, cant remember the exact definition, but they used it in Perth

when someone is wearing trousers that are too short on the leg, you say they're 'budgied' - the short legs are budgies. the joke or whatever that comes from is saying that person is mourning the loss of their budgie. no, I don't know what that means/where that's from.

on (pronoun) wick:
to get on someone's wick means to irritate, annoy or generally bug them. people usually get on your wick over a period of time via constantly popping up at inopportune moments and being annoying all the time.
