no, even though I come from a scottish background I can't understand the slang or a lot of the dialect...but I could listen to Annie Lennox talk all day...

Birl meaning to spin or turn
Cowp meaning to tip over or to describe a mess (This rooms a cowp)
Fandan meaning idiot or fool
Champ meaning to mash up (Champed Tatties = Mashed Potato)
Rummle meaning to shake up or disturb
Bunnit meaning Bonnet or Flat Cap
Tan meaning to hit (Ah'll tan yir hide = I'll smack your bottom)
There's 100's of words, so many in my brain jostling for release that I can't get any more out!

I love the scots accent - though I do struggle a bit with the glaswegians coz they speak so fast. I love the word Bairn xx

I like the word for a heelander which is chucter but I'm no sure how it's spelt. I've also heard of plamfing which is taking pleasure in the smell of ones fart.
