"And eehh "- don't know if that spelling conveys the Scots version of 'Um', but if it doesn't well ah canny be bothered footerin'aboot, ahm scunnered as it is, here at the Lanark Palais an' it's jist fu' o' wee bauchles, ah think the Tattie boat's in.[the pubs had shut and there were no good sorts to be had]
See I'm bilingual, well trilingual, because there was parentspeak, friendspeak and now Auspeak and if yees don' like it yes kin a'away an bile yer heids.....
I love that expression, and still use it today, 40 years on. Wonder how some o' they wee bauchles are?

Actually, I cheated , copying these terms from a site that I found on the www when I Googled on the basis of "Parliamo Glasgow", but decided that it was "inappropropriate" to post the www address here due to the language/vocabulary used elsewhere on the site in question, especially in a pome on the home page, - let's just put it this way, Billy Connolly would be proud of the vocabularly used and see no problem with it, - but I have now most certainly learnt my lesson about posting such links, however much it might be the case that the language used is the everyday language of many Glaswegians however much we might like or dislike that realityRussell wrote:....much snipped .....

Bobby,
Canny think o' any nice ones. If someone was nice to me in our household I'd wonder what I'd done wrong!
From what I saw you saved polite & nice for the ones you didn't like.
Some of those wee bauchles are probably in a clamjamfrie somewhere....
In fact, there's two wee bauchles in ma hoos.
