I think I've posted this before, but this is my favourite 'Scottish' phrase I've heard said.

There was a player for Celtic in the 90's, called "Enrico Annoni". A mate of mine was at this game, and as Annoni was about to be substituted on, a fan said this.

"Aw naw, there's Annoni oan an' aw' noo", so brilliant, it's gibberish to anyone who isn't Scottish.

I would imagine a lot of the younger users wont use or have heard a few of those terms. I would associate some of them with the older generations.

Oh and if your from Selkirk and probably some of the surrounding area a bannock is slightly different in that its a type of scone on steroids/fruitcake. Pretty tasty it is as well.

Well yeah, but say it out loud to anybody who isn't Scottish and it really is gibberish.

Remember, down here near Glasgow we speak faster than you fifers, something to do with intelligence I suspect ;)

Yeah, a few of them are pretty common (lassie, skelf, stookie etc..) but a few of them I would have no idea what they meant if I hadn't heard them from my old gran.
