    As a Scottish person who hears and uses this vocabulary on a daily basis, it’s surprising how many people are interested in Scottish lmao.

      That's because Scottish people are the funniest with the lingo and grit sense of humour.
      Or atleast, we outsiders see it as such.

    My Mum and Dad went to Scotland years ago, and while walking through a small village Mum asked an elderly gentleman walking his two Scottish terriers (in a rather broad Aussie accent I might add) for directions to the post office. He stared at her for a moment then said “Aye, sorry lass, aye cannae unnerstan a whirr yae seeyin”. Somewhat flustered Mum said “oh, oh, I see, thank you.” And they both went their separate ways scratching their heads in puzzlement.
    The thing that amazes me is that technically, they were both speaking the same language yet neither understood a word! 😂

    As an American, some of these make complete and total sense. "Rank" can be used exactly the same way here, it's just uncommon, and "wee bit" I think most people would know just means "a little". Or "bevvy" as short for "beverage". Even something like "gaun yersel'"; I'd probably be very confused in the moment, but it is just saying "go on yourself" with a Scottish accent, which is a bit like "go on with your bad self" -- a phrase many Americans would get -- so it makes sense. But "gettin' the messages" -- that one cracked me up🤣 I loved the explanation too. And I'd never have guessed "jobby" in a million years.

    Keep in mind Scotland is a country so some of these slang words are more associated with different parts of the country - as there are different Scottish accents.

      A lot of this slang is common where I live in Canada as well. I didn't even know a lot of this was even specific to Scotland because I've used, and heard, a lot of it my entire life.

    I think it’s funny that he changes out of his natural Scottish accent when he describes the Scottish terms.
