Glaswegian Words & Phrases

Teuchter obviously but only one I've ever heard out of that lot is drookit..

 

Oxter pronounced "oakster" everybody I know says that, I think all over scotland it means armpit like "stop tickling my oxters".

Heid bummer ive heard millions of times as well like Lawwell is the heid bummer of Celtic. Gerry Adams was one of the heid bummers of the IRA etc

 

So if your brought up around phrases like that and use it yourself, that makes you a dafty?

 

Never heard them in my life mate. Quite a few in the Glasgow slang, I took for pretty much all of Scotland as well..

 

Whats a dafty? Can you not speak English ya idiot:smiley-laughing002:

 

Never knew Gerry was into the bumming:icon_mrgreen:

 

The word armpit basically doesnt exist id say to most people in Scotland, they would always say oakster although hardly any body ever uses the word so you dont really ever hear it but everybody I know would say oakster.

 

I never actually thought about it before and just knew what it meant but when you see it wrote down it does look daft people would assume it meant something to do with your head and *. Basically just means the boss or main man.

 

Using the term in Ireland would probably be considered political incorrect in the extreme:smiley-laughing002:

 

Me only understand two words in this post:icon_mrgreen:

If I was staying up there and somebody said about deodorant, it would be 'want a shot a this for under your arms' or 'pits', no?

 

":smiley-laughing002:" is not a word

 

Dont know nobody would really say what it was for its obvious it would be for that.

But like someone saying "dont lift me up by my oaksters" or "his oaksters are stinkin" or "look how hairy his oaksters are" or women would say "do you shave your oaksters"

I would say its one of the main Scottish words everybody says instead of the real word like aye.

I would say for example "the new bumblebee tap is too tight under your oaksters".

 

Tickled me that..

I'm amazed at that, I've never heard it..

 

I pronounce it oksters as opposed to the 'oak', maybe there's west and east versions? Or maybe I'm saying the posh way :smiley-laughing002:

 

Aye the doric tongue is the worst in Scotland, like a foreign language the *.. I've mastered it, with working with a load of the tightarsed *.

Certainly plenty of the weegies wouldna understand the doric... It genuinly is like foreign.

a sentence in doric, that genuinly makes sense - "fit fit fits fit fit?"... in the instance where you had 2 shoes in front of you. "What foot, fits what foot" :smiley-laughing002:

 

:smiley-laughing002:

How did they even manage to change wit to fit? an F makes no sense at all.

 

Struck a wee memory there

The games a boagie, the man in the loaby is dain a wee jobby, come oot come oot wherever you are

Anyone else say similar when playing hiddy
