lassie - girl/woman (obviously)
tattie - potato
glescae - glasgow
auld reekie - edinburgh
skelf - wood splinter in the skin.
bairn - baby
 
Whit's fur ye'll no go by ye!

It's as much a philosophical statement as it is a particular Scottishism but essentially it's a view like karma - you will get what is coming to you in due course.

The rest have all been answered correctly as far as I can tell.

//edit Stoutmeister - please could you fully star out the swearing and that particular colloquialism for Celtic fans isn't allowed in Sports Arena so I'm not sure it is allowed here either. Thank you.

Haud yer wheesht! - shut up /stop talking

nope but not many people speak like this anymore :(


Fife is a full of dodgy Scots accent phrases and talk. :p

No one round your way say 'neebar'? ie "neighbour", meaning friend?

I do not believe you have lived in Fife your whole life and never heard of lassie. edit Oh I see, you can get some of them. Well I hope that was one ;)
