Hehe, love it! I don't have have experience with most of the things listed, but I can read it and understand it. My folks told me we had some Scot blood, so I guess that might be it...;-)

Wow! That was a blast from the past. My dad's mom was Scot, and what I didn't learn from him, I got from the Scot babysitter who took care of me when I was small.


Here is a song my dad taught me-it's a highlands drinking song.

Just a wee deoch ‘n doris
Jus a wee drop, tha's aw
just a wee deoch ‘n doris
afore ye gang awa’.
There's a wee wifey waitin,
and a wee button ben.

If ye can say,
it’s a braw, bricht, moonlicht nicht,
Yer a’richt, ye ken.

Have some haggis and a wee dram!

(I'm not Scottish, but I enjoy Scottish comedy television -- Chewing the Fat, and Still Game) -- picking up a lot of the slang!

Finally not a lurker!
As your can tell from my last name somewhere in the distant past we started in Scotland. Thrown out centuries ago for what was probably a very good reason. Besides we hate the cold and haggis.
