Glasgow meet ?

It’s a lovely, descriptive alternative to English words Baggs ?
I use wabbit now Marydoll.

And plenty of people are crabbit...

Grannmarie I can be a crabbit wee besom if I don’t get enough sleep!

We should change our name to the Crabbit and Wabbit, Glesca, Wee Besoms., even although most of us don't actually live in Glasgow itself!

Blimey.
I think those planning to come from south of Border would need to be provided with a Handbook of Useful Phrases.

It sounds like a folk group or relatives of Fran and Anna!

That can be arranged. I have always had a hankering for writing a book and I am a wannabe linguist, as you well know IXION. ?????

Think me 'n' Fanny would need advance tuition were we to come. DuoLingo, maybe?

Would we get the opportunity to wear kilts????

Do you have the legs for a kilt? We can't have you frightening the natives, can we?

Baubles, me too!?

What do you call a group of crabbit wee besoms? Answers on a postcard please! ?????????

Or, we could have a competition with a prize for the best answers at the meet up! I'm happy to provide the prize.

I'm getting a bit carried away, aren't I? ?

That sums me up exactly, Kalu, ?

Greetin’ faced crabbit wee besom -
the perfect description of someone I had the misfortune to work with many years ago. ??

I've been described as she a nippy sweetie that yin. Can't think why

Is there a Glaswegian Wordle, I wonder?

I’m polishing my sporran in anticipation

And what is a nippy sweetie?

A ^nippie sweetie^:

NOUN
(also nippie sweetie)
Scottish
1 drink of spirits, especially of whisky; whisky.

2 sharp-tongued or peevish person, especially a woman.

3 sharp-tasting sweet, or one which makes the mouth hot.

I think I may fit the criteria for no.2.

Jan, you certainly are not.

Is a ‘sweetie’ ever a good thing, or is it always derogatory?
I heard a man in Four in a Bed call a fellow competitor a ‘sweetie wifey’, and I wasn’t sure what he meant at all

A sweetie wife, is usually an elderly man, who likes to gossip or be involved in the affairs of women.
I know a few of those!

We should start a Scottish word a day thread!

That sounds great! Go for it! ???????

I was only joking Fanny!! ?

I’m going to hold you to it now Mary
I will ask you the meaning of a word everyday!

Btw inspired by you and ixion , I am seriously considering an Open Learning Latin course

Moudiewart is Scottish for mole. Fanny

To girn means whine, often a child.
Girny, girning....
