I was brought up by my Gran till I was about ten and she taught me loads of local Scottish dialect, she used to say that you can read all there is to read about us and look at all the pictures but the only way to get to know an this place (South Ayrshire) is to get in amongst the folk and listen to them.

Some of my favorite words

Scunner, someone who is being naughty i.e "you wee scunner"

Sleekit, someone who is a bit sly or dodgy.

Haud yer wheesht, hold your tongue, stop talking.

Skelpit smacked, whacked, if you were a wee scunner you might get your arse skelpit

There are many more I could list but the forum servers probably aren't big enough.

Cheers
