Also self-confessed swingers. They boasted about it in their autobiographies so you can imagine how much ribbing they took when they appeared on "On The Ball" a couple of years later!

This might be a north east word, but is still commonly used up here by aulder fowk.
"puckle" meaning couple, or about two/a few

My partner is NIrish and always winces in dislike whenever I use the word 'oaksters' strangely enough I'd always assumed that we scots and irish use pretty similar words but that one I had to explain was a word we use for 'armpits ' haha she hates it. Also tumble yer 'wulkies ' meaning a forward roll basically though I'm unsure of the origins of that one , it could be from the swimmer David wilkie or not , anyone else heard of tumble yer wulkies?So had a wee chat with my little ghirls as I was putting them to bed tonight. They are 9 and 5 year old. My 5 year old asks...."apart from wee and aye what are other Scottish words daddy" and I must have been down here to long cos for the life of me I couldnt think of any!!! Had them saying words like girl and world and curly wurly and bless them they attempted to speak like me...rolling their r's. My little ones are proper Surreyso it was hilarious in their wee English accents.....anyway can anyone give me some scottish slang words to teach them...even old, not used much words. Just a bit of fun folks and keep it clean...they're only babies

The first time my wife came up to Scotland to meet the family,my sister said to her your piece is on the brace hen,she look around trying to work out what had been said I told her her sandwich was on the mantelpiece 52 years later she still tells the story
