Love it all....but this is my favourite. Often aimed at me but hopefully affectionately by a gent from the wild west....
Chanty Wrastler
From Scots dialect with an imprecise meaning.
A chanty is a chamberpot and a wrastler is a wrestler or possibly someone who shakes an object.
It is used as a mild insult, often to children.
Keep out of my garden you little chanty wrastler.  |

Not to be confused with the more common, and more accurate, 'fuck aff ya wee bastird' |

I've got 2 cracking books here from a few years back.Stanley Baxters' Parliamo Glasgow and Glasgow District Libraries(that shows how old that one is!!!Lol)The Patter.A guids to current Glasgow usage!!!!Fecking hilarious book.
BOAK-To boak is to vomit or make someone sick:"He's boaked aw doon his jaiket.""Would that no boke ye?"
To give someone the boak is to nausiate or make them sick, and as dry retching is more horrible than vomiting so the dry boak is the apothesis of disgust:"See you, ye gie me the dry boak"
Hahah.....somebody was taking it a bit too serious!!!But as funny as.....!!! |

Hahahah....brilliant!!Bloody typical.
Skoosh is in the book too!!!Your example is much better though.
Here's some Stanley Baxter.
In certain discotheques in Glasgow the more obscure words and phrases used by the native dancers may not be understood by non Glaswegian patrons.As one enters such an establishment one may here the word MASHUR
This word is often employed by a young man in a disco when he first catches sight of a pre possessing damsel. This time, however, it is preceded by three words-AWANNI
GERRAHODDA and RATS
and so we have the fervent declaration "AWANNI GERRAHODDA RATS MASHUR
He thus indicates that he wishes to take hold of the young lady and dance with her.... |

I recall at 17 yrs old starting a wee job in Glasgow. On a dirty wet rainy day, one of the other girls asked for a "len o' yur gamp". Fortunately, she picked up my umbrella and waltzed off without awaiting an answer or I'd have been really stumped!
Another one which had me puzzled for a while was the "Midgie Mo'or" - a very apt description but beyond my rural ken at that time. lol. |
