It has come to my attention that there may be some confusion over the similarities between the Dundonian use of the word ashet and the use of the phrase: eh shat!
The former is used to describe a plate or tin dish for cooking pehs in. The latter is a first-person narrative used by someone who has recently evacuated their bowel.
Examples:
1. Dinnae lick the gravy aff the ashet, it's still roastin'
2. When wee alfie had his most recent failure against Celtic, he was heard to mutter: "sorree, senor Sleepy, eh shat the bed again, boss"***
*** please note, the phrase "eh shat" can be used both figuratively and metaphorically in this instance. Where, quite literally, alfie shat the bed because he's not house trained and also metaphorically shat the bed by failing to find the net against Celtic (again × any number you wish to multiply it by)

Another thing about Fifers (sorry Lennono) is their inability to make the "th' sound?When I was a wean visiting relatives in Balingray in the Kingdom of fife my aunts mum said to me,"awa ben ta the kitchen and tell Jennie tae bide here the noo " Whit said I , phrase repeated I was still clueless till my cousin translated into weedgie for me . Took me ages to figure out who Ben was.
Example:
Non-Fifer Person: "what was the final score with Celtic today?"
Fifer: "Shree-nil........Celtic cut shrew 'em like a hot knife shrew butter"
