Glasgow meet ?

I've been described as she a nippy sweetie that yin. Can't think why

Greetin’ faced crabbit wee besom -
the perfect description of someone I had the misfortune to work with many years ago. ??

What do you call a group of crabbit wee besoms? Answers on a postcard please! ?????????

Or, we could have a competition with a prize for the best answers at the meet up! I'm happy to provide the prize.

I'm getting a bit carried away, aren't I? ?

Greetin’ faced. ?

That sums me up exactly, Kalu, ?

Baubles, me too!?

Do you have the legs for a kilt? We can't have you frightening the natives, can we?

Think me 'n' Fanny would need advance tuition were we to come. DuoLingo, maybe?

Would we get the opportunity to wear kilts????

Blimey.
I think those planning to come from south of Border would need to be provided with a Handbook of Useful Phrases.

That can be arranged. I have always had a hankering for writing a book and I am a wannabe linguist, as you well know IXION. ?????

Meine Doppelgängerinnen. You will have no difficulty recognising me at the meet!

It sounds like a folk group or relatives of Fran and Anna!

Blimey.

We should change our name to the Crabbit and Wabbit, Glesca, Wee Besoms., even although most of us don't actually live in Glasgow itself!

Grannmarie I can be a crabbit wee besom if I don’t get enough sleep!

And plenty of people are crabbit...

It’s a lovely, descriptive alternative to English words Baggs ?
I use wabbit now Marydoll.

My mother was always wabbit!

My besom/broom (with another and a rake or two.

I though a besom was a broom ? ?

It's that too.

Another fave is dicht (wipe). My Dundonian mil used to hand me a dichter when the kids' faces needed wiped.

I though a besom was a broom ? ?

Agreed, mdoll! Scunnered is a favourite of mine too even though I probably can't do the accent justice ?

Oh, Baggs, that made me laugh out loud, I haven't heard glaiket in years!?

Baggs, I love that word glaikit. In my book, it on a par with scunnered!! They are not really translatable into English.

The Scottish mother of a schoolfriend of mine once called her second daughter (there were four of them and this was not my friend) a "glaiket besom" because she'd tipped a dustbin out onto the patio in a rage about something she'd lost.
