I miss some Scots words that I neither hear nor can use down here.
Breenge often pops into my mind, particularly on the Underground. It means forward movement, executed with force and blithe disregard for the consequences. Gaun, breenge doun thone elevator.
And there's Thone in that sentence too, meaning that one there.
Thole, meaning tolerate, I like, and Soother for the ability to bump along together despite inauspicious circumstance. Also Thrawn for obdurate and slightly mad. A cannae thole him. He's thrawn. We just dinnae soother.
And ibis might like Gloaming which is Scots for crepuscular.
Only thing I miss about North of the Border; the Doric tongue. |
