    I love the fact 'Bawhair' is a valid unit of measurement.

    Mocket, boggin, words like that I do like. Living in Shetland the now and there are some good words up here, but also some cracking words from Glasgow that goes right over the locals heads.

    Most favorite word (though not scottish) is *. As said, only in Scotland can you call someone a * and mean it with love.
    Such a harsh sounding word as well but says so much.

    Ye *

    Also, 'tap dancer'.

    Could mean either a top flat in a close or a goal in the top corner.

    Never heard tap dancer mean either of those two.

    In fact never used the term tap dancer.
