    ok, just saw the irn bru advert there and made me think of what names people have for things (no funny stuff mind!:86:), so...does anyone call their lunch their dinner and their dinner, tea??

    I call my lunch my lunch and my dinner either dinner or tea...

    Also, what do you call the remote control, me = the buzzer, but i have heard it being called the doofer?? *?:97:

    When I was a wee guy cold meat used to be called gammon.

    A common primary school conflab went :

    "Whit ye got for your dinner?"

    "A roll n gammon and a can o' ginger"

    These days it's all ciabattas with cold meat and * smoothies!!!

    I call the remote the "geggie" pronounced ge-gay, have absolutely no idea why that may be ! Also call Bacon Ham, as in Ham and Eggs, and call Ham Gammon as in a roll and Gammon.

    Its strange why Scots say Ginger when they mean juice, Gingers a root vegetable, and I have no idea why we call it Ginger !! I still do mind you.

    * when you think about it, the Scottish folk have some weird names for stuff.
