    The best thing about Scots is the extensive range of insults.

    I’m an American of Scottish heritage, my family came (were exiled) to Boston just before the Rovolutionary War, then joined the Continental Marines when it all kicked off. From the first time I heard it, the Scottish accent sang to my soul. These insults are awesome, and I would start using them immediately, if any of my American friends would have any idea of what I was talking about. lol

      My gran had a less offensive version of this to describe someone with a reddish complexion. She would say that a person "had a face like a stalk of last year's rhubarb".

    One of my Commanding Officers was a Scott born and raised. This guy was our Regimental Commander so we really listened when he spoke, problem was we couldn’t understand a single word he’d say. We would be in formation and he would dismiss us for the weekend and we wouldn’t move, so the first couple times that happened he thought we were messing with him so he asked on of the Majors if the unit was full of “eejit”. The only thing the major said was Aww, Uaa, Sir? The entire time all of us are just shifting looks at each other, like what language is that, sounded like a bunch of rrrrrs, birttt, buurrr, he turned out to be one the most inspirational leaders I served with, well, when I wasn’t being an eejit.

    Thanks for the video especially for having the spelling in the description right now I'm playing an RPG game and a forum and my character is a Scottish punk from Glasgow who is held at the point of the sword by a Japanese Yakuza ninja warrior (its a superhero game in the style of CW "Arrow "or "Flash") his being used hostage to force the other players to help the Yakuza escape. After trying to get free and falling I cobbled up this flowery sentence thanks to your video and some comments "Yer Bawbag! get ye butter knifer in Yer Eejit Numpty Mink Fud! Ye Crabbit Tub Yer!" its still pretty mild because its mostly stress/pain relief he dos not want to attack his family or get into harder curse words but does not want to provoke the Yakuza too much a middle ground :D I will post a hyperlink to the video in my post so that you will get some more views thanks for the content

    I'm Australian. My grandparents were Scottish. My grandfather used to at times use the word "duffer" to describe someone who had done somethin silly. My grandfather was born before 1910 so the word "duffer" would most likely be a wee bit outdated now.

      @@ErinsHoose actually glaikit means cross eyed and has been around for a few centuries. In Fife there used to be "yon's a glaikit domer" or a "right styuppit mong". Here's another one: in Crieff when I was a skule bam we had a viral outbreak of "Tongs, ya bass"! Even written on the street in huge letters one morning. Stoater, that was.
