Scottish word of the day

So the cousins are teaching us how to speak 'properly' and in doing so, we are learning many new words and phrases....thus, we are starting a word/phrase of the day post. In an effort to make up for lost time, here are some words/phrases we are working on perfecting:

pished - pissed aka drunk aka what i was last night
canny whack it - you can't beat it or you can't get better than
baltic - frozen
baw bag - ball bag aka scrotum
joggy bottoms - sweats
shattered - tired
gutted - upset
greetin - crying
squiggly - tipsy

Our accents are coming along nicely and today was the first day we actually felt cold - to the bone - like everyone was telling us we would. It was not pleasant. In fact, it sucked donkey balls. (that was a little shout-out to the swoop aka cousin Mark).

Here are some random photos of the last few days.




This is Mark, me and James at Vodka Wodka....previously the Grosvenor Cafe where my mom and dad would hang out back in the day when they were at university.


This is Dan, Moira, Mark, James and me outside in Ashton Lane in the West End of Glasgow.

Next post.......Edinburgh Castle.
