It's one of the first they learn in ma hoose Being beeling is a recognised sent-tae-bed-early or a severe mocking offence.
Mocket - the state of something either being dirty, undesirable or inebriated. ****ybaws - colloquial term of endearment.
Our English friends have not jumped aboard the **** bandwagon fully yet, they still see it as a derogatory word whereas we enlighted Scots have created a usage for **** beyond it's original meaning. As in: He's a good ****
Aye, it's fully a term of endearment to us. Try telling a Sherman Tank he's "A sound ****"... they don't take it as well as they should
Also, the correct collective noun to use for **** is "shower". A ****. Many ****s. Some ****. A shower of ****s. This has no international boundary.
True. They also don't understand the social intricacies of "wee man" and "big man". Say one of those in the wrong context will get ye yer **** kicked in.
I know a guy that refers to himself as "the big man" and EVERYONE ELSE as "wee man". It's kinda caught on - it's aw the rage, wee man.
I worked with a big guy and when I first met him I asked "What's your name?" he replied "Just call me Big Man". He was a ****er.
