aye it's a good one, but archaic. my grandad used to say it, most people my parent's age would know it, but no-one my age (late 20s) would use it, and no doubt many wouldn't have heard it, and it will have completely disappeared soon enough :c

wank as a noun, but not to denote the act of masturbation, but rather as a pejorative term for a person.

plamf - don't know what this means, just a light insult. google search suggests it means "panty sniffer", ha.
dunderheid - simpleton. a good one definitely.

Aw, plamf is a good one as well.
Bawjaws will forever be associated with those spoof Dolmio ads that were doing the rounds about five or six years ago.

What's the difference between a ned and a dobber?
― Love Max Ophüls of us all (Michael White), Monday, 18 June 2012 15:00 (thirteen years ago)
a dobber's a bit like a dick.
ned is obv a pejorative but it doesn't really work as an insult, too generalised, never mind the class connotations. if it's successful here i'll be v disappointed. what makes terms such as bawbag and numpty work is that they are very nuanced.
― Merdeyeux, Monday, 18 June 2012 15:10 (thirteen years ago)
Wiki implied that dobber was related to English chav, which I, perhaps lazily, thought was related to ned.
― Love Max Ophüls of us all (Michael White), Monday, 18 June 2012 15:17 (thirteen years ago)
hm ya, chav and ned overlap a lot, but i've not heard dobber used in that way.

Noundeej (uncountable)(pejorative, slang) A child with special needs; by extension, a person of low intelligence or having the appearance of a person with special needs.(pejorative) Someone who is deemed to be a failure by their peers.(pejorative) Used in similar manner to the Scots word glaikit.

Ha! I had no idea that "numptie" was a real word. I thought that was some weird thing only my grannies used. Like "sat on your own like a numptie."
If they could agree on the spelling of "sassenach" I'd go with that, as that was another classic granny put-down.

Talking of Scots words, I was trying to describe an infestation of insects earlier this evening and found myself using the word "hoaching", as in a description of a bar or a nightclub with a preponderance of attractive women, "This place is hoachin' wi' fanny".
― Letsby Avenue (Tom D.), Sunday, 30 November 2014 02:24 (eleven years ago)
Doesn't "hoaching" just mean busy or packed with people?
There's so many of these words I've heard for all my life but never seen written or typed. I would have spelled it "Bizzum" rather than "Bisom" or "Besom".
Honestly don't think I've ever heard sasunnach, sassenagh, Sassenach, sassanoch or sasennach.
I used to hear "bam" used for "ned" a lot in school.
How about "gash patch"?
This isn't an insult but for describing small things I've never known the spelling for this word: "totie", "toatie", "toetie", "totey" or something else?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 30 November 2014 02:33 (eleven years ago)
And is it "Okester" or "Oakster" for armpit?
Oxter
― Letsby Avenue (Tom D.), Sunday, 30 November 2014 02:35 (eleven years ago)
Personally i would spell it 'toty', I've lived in England for 14 years now and am still constantly policing myself not to use words like 'toty' in mixed (Scots/ non-Scots) company. Using 'wee' for 'small' is rare enough down here.
― Letsby Avenue (Tom D.), Sunday, 30 November 2014 02:39 (eleven years ago)
Depends what circles they are from. It's been a long time since I heard someone who had a really extreme accent with lots of slang I didn't know.

Don't know if anyone else noticed but, in his press conference with Theresa May, Trump said his mother was from Stornoway, "That's real Scotland." I expect Trump would consider these protestors to be not real Scots.
