Cool game - guess the meaning! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Mossopp · 06-24-2002, 01:57 PM

Some of us on 'The Osbournes' board were discussing how it can sometimes be difficult for Americans to understand some English and Scots accents. I offered the opinion that it's not so much the accents that present the problem but the actual words themselves. This is the point where Miss Roxie Rickman dared me to throw forth some Scots slang cos she believed she would know what I was talking about. I thought this was a cool idea so I deceided to post this here on the Chit Chat where it would get a bigger audience.
So here are some West of Scotland slang words. What do you all think they mean? If you know for a fact what their actual meaning is (which I very much doubt any of you do) then keep quite for a bit. I wanna see what daft ideas you guys come up with!

Hmm... this should be fun to see all of our guesses. Of course, I'm not trying my hand. My answers will be too stupid. However, I believe I know this one...

nyaff: I think this is 'dorky' with a different spelling than what
I've seen before

I've been listening to the wrong slang... maybe cos it's Scotland slang and not British/English/whatever the proper phrase is.

OH! OH! **Raises hand!* I know what "shoogle" means! I know what "shoogle" means! I loooove that word, and I swear I am going to find ways to work it into my vocabulary. Buuuut, seeing as how I just came from the west of Scotland where someone told me what it means, it would be unfair to spill the beans just yet. A hint though, perhaps... it's a verb.

I don't remember exactly what "mingin" means but I remember you using it before, Mossopp. Doesn't it mean like stupid of annoying or something?

I'm not sure what the Scottish "bevvy" means, but bevvy is also an English/American word... it means like...a group, or alot of something.

And I think I know what bunnit means but I am not sure. I want to say some sort of hat? I don't know.....the other ones I erased from the quote, I have no clue on.

Kay Scarpetta · 06-25-2002, 08:25 PM

Er, does "Shoogle" mean "shaking"? I don't know how I thought of that....I doubt it's right though, lol.

FOLrocks1 · 06-25-2002, 08:50 PM

I don't even want to guess! LOL. I don't even know what to guess

Ewan's My Man · 06-25-2002, 09:15 PM

I have no clue...but maybe my hubby does

*leaves to ask him but never comes back*
