Just a little bit of daily fun too see who knows what the Scottish word of the day is.

Todays word is 'Geggie' (You can have as many guesses as you like) :)

What's that in English then folks ? Have fun! :D

If no one gets it, I'll post the answer tomorrow. :)

[Dave Blake]

That's a type of purse isn't it. Used in a sentence. Is that one of those supper stylish 'Geggie' purses?

I could be wrong. :)

[TheWeeBear]

You could be wrong Dave, and yes, you are wrong LOL :D

[palandri]

mouth or bouche.

[TheWeeBear]

Well palandri, i hope there was no form of cheating going on but you got it.

It's mouth. (Or as we would say in Ayrshire, Mooth)

May be used politely or rudely. “You’re talking nonsense, so just shut your geggie.”

Well done indeedy my friend.

Another word tomorrow morning.

Purse was close Dave, (keeping in his good books) :D

[palandri]

I'll probably never get another one right. I only know a few Scottish words. :D

[TheWeeBear]

Well i'm impressed, thanks for joining in the fun guys. :)

[TheWeeBear]

And another new word today. Todays word is 'Wheesht' :)

[Judge_Daniel]

I couldn't help but look it up! I can't stand to know that I'm living in ignorance, so I had to! I won't ruin it for others. I was nowhere close, though. I would've guessed something having to do with the wind.

[TheWeeBear]

Well i'm sure everyone will be cheating and looking them up, so just you post what you think the answer is Judge_Daniel.

If you don't, someone else will. :D

(Yes it does sound kinda like a windy word)

[Judge_Daniel]

It means "be quiet" or just "quiet". I think it is kind of funny, though, because both shhh and wheesht are sounds that could represent wind.

[TheWeeBear]

Todays winner LOL. Yes you could be right with the 'windy' descriptions.

Used in a sentence, you might say..

You are just talking absolute rubbish, I think you better just wheesht. (Be quiet)

Another tomorrow. :)

[Big Supes]

Good gosh! Blue-blooded murder of the English language!






:P

[TheWeeBear]

Don't you start Big Supes, you great big bad, nasty, evil Sassenach! :D

[Big Supes]

Is that the Scottish version for non-believer? :P

[TheWeeBear]

No, i will leave that for your research project for today Big Supes. :)
(It's something much much worse than being a non believer) ;)

[Wiccan Lagar]

Don't you start Big Supes, you great big bad, nasty, evil Sassenach! :D

Sassenach=sasquach, big foot

I am sure of it!

[TheWeeBear]

Sound feasable Wiccan Lager, but alas no. :D

[TheWeeBear]

OK time to put you out of your misery Big Supes. ;)

Sassenach is a word used chiefly by the Scots to designate an Englishman.

It derives from the Scottish Gaelic Sasunnach meaning, originally, "Saxon", from the Latin "Saxones"; it was also formerly applied by Highlanders to (non-Gaelic-speaking) Lowlanders.

Today it is usually used in jest, as a (friendly) term of abuse. :D

[TheWeeBear]

Good Morning Everyone!

A nice easy one for a Friday.

Todays word is 'Blether' :)

[Judge_Daniel]

I wonder if blether means anything similar to blather...That'd be too easy, though.

[TheWeeBear]

You never know Judge_Daniel, but to be honest, I don't know what blather is, so give it a try. :)

[Judge_Daniel]

To blather is to ramble or talk incessantly.

[TheWeeBear]

Well there you go, very similar words indeedy. I guess you got it.

Blether in Scottish just means idle chatter or gossip.

I'm just going round to the neighbour's now for a wee blether.

Well done Judge_Daniel. I'll need to step up the difficulty. :D

[Judge_Daniel]

What, what! Over here, we'd say, "Stop blathering, you *****! You've been going on for hours!"

I think I'll have myself a little drink for getting the word of the day. :)
