The Scottish have a brilliant way with words. It was never dull at "oor hoose." These are some of the sayings I grew up with (said with a thick Scottish accent):
If you die wi a face like that, no one'll wash it.
Someone just walked over ma grave.
Look at you, hanging around like a knotless thread!
I feel like the wreck o' the Hesparus.
Quite yer greitin! (crying)
If you cry on yer birthday, you'll be cryin' all year.
If he was chocolate, he'd eat himself!
Quit yer blethering.
Och, yer a good wee girl!
Och, yer a cheeky wee bitch.
Och, ya wee bugger
You're daft!
You'll have a sore bahooky if ye don't stop.
Wash yer oaksters (armpits).
Och, yer a lovely wee lassie.
I miss ma mammy...
I'm goin' hame.
Oh, Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
