Isn't this what is known as 'broad Scots' and 'tucheucters' are southern Scots or borderers? We use to have a Scots guy (hailing from Dunoon) work with us who would often use the phrase 'Yeuchter tueuchter' which we took as meaning ' You useless southerner'!Originally Posted by Marco
LOL. You're right, Chris. I think it was the "mon" along with the "jings" that just swung it too much into 'Jings, crivens, help ma boab' territory!
'There's a moose loose aboot this hoose', and all that nonsense.
Mind you, 'tcheuchters' (look that one up if you're unfamiliar with the expression) often talk that way... But they're all 'aff their heids'!!
Marco.
