Im bored and was wondering can any of you non Scottish folk tell me what these words meen in certain places of the land of bad weather and the one legged haggis.
I
Day ken
Las
Were all tam jocks bairns (I think thats how it goes)
Bairn
Wayn
fain
gless
min
gees that ur al smash yi
yi
gonay nay day that

( Note almost every place in Scotland has its own take on such words and are almost exclusively used by the working class folk such as ma sell ) Please only try this if you have never been in scotland.
Oh and a word of warning never try to tell a scottsman the English started haggis just dont I have seen bloodshed over said argument mainly because the place I live but just be careful.
Whoever gets the most right I will buy them a pint from the LH arms

Er, think that's probably mostly reet. Ok, aaaight, I'm northern and use most of them mysel', and I love scots cos some of them can out-drink me. Well, ok, so I don't drink as much nowadays.
Because the way the sterotype go'es around here I thought you all still loved to mock us while singing songs about that posh old women you call the queen wow cant wait to rub this in my dads face he's as anti England as they come but this is not the place to discuss such things

Ok going to guess before reading replies.
Ken I know means "know" so I'd assume day ken = do you know?
Bairn is baby/child
Yi would be you?
Ya big jessie I'd assume means you're a wimp
I'd like to start a Derbyshire version of this! People look at me "gone out" when I say t' word "mardy" or say I'm going "ar ahse" via the "jitty".
