Was reading a previous post where the OP used the word 'pish' and I was surprised that many people hadn't heard this phrase. So its got me wondering if any of our non Scottish friends know any of our slang words? Or have you heard one that you need translated? |

"Scottish TV isnt that popular south of the border unfortunately. I love Scottish humour though, Limmy is fucking hilarious!"
Limmy is fantastic. Burnistoun is worth a watch. Top of the list has got to be Still Game. Filled with gid auld Scottish words. |

"What is pish?
Means shite or crap or rubbish
That's new to me.
Is it true that people in Scotland call alcohol peve? "
Maybe regionally. I've never heard it being called that |

No...pish is urine, piss. I've had a pissy day. Ive had a pish day.
I got pished last night....I got pissed last night.
I went for a pish....I went for a pee |

"Scotland is beautiful, understanding the lingo can be tricky.
"Me waine" sorry your what?  "
It can be tricky even for Scots lol. That is a tricky phrase as well. 'Wain/wean' can also be 'bairn' or 'wee loon' in some parts. |

no apology required. Which part of Scotland do you get to visit for work? Scenery can be breathtaking up here. |
