He, I almost linked the entry for “bide” earlier.

Heh

I have an app for students, Scots ABC. It has a random word generator, from which I just learned the word “oorie.”

Doesn’t have any of the example sentences though, for one thing.

auk (auk and style)

Turns out "auk and style" doesn't exist as a saying at all, I'd heard "dressed in auk and style" but maybe it was really "dressing up in style" or something. I do know of one song where I'd misheard the latter for the former, but I'm sure my hearing predates it.

Unless, y'know, you know?
