incredibledisc Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Pish has always been a favourite as in "dinnae talk pish" or "that's just pish" - it just sounds sooo dismissive when said in a Scottish accent - something about those long sybllant s's. Radge was up there too but I see someone beat me to it.Hmm, what else...mawkit or clarty = dirtyboak (as in, "he gies me the boak) = to make one feel illshite = shitchahoorsir (literally, you whore sir) = expression of disbelief or surprise (see also chahooryacuntye) common in Fife.Gadge = a fellow (also gadgie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plato the Greek Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 'Houghmagandy' is a cracking Northern Scots/Aberdonian word. It basically means shagging or 'fornication' from what I can gather. First came across the word in the book 'Lost Aberdeen' which I can heartily recommend.

Alan Cynic Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 That would be the Scottish one...the Aberdonian "toldy" is also a handy word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
