Scots wurd o' th' day

"Bumfuck" - v., to cough loudly and suddenly in front of a horse. As in, "I got such a fright when you started bumfucking that I dropped my bananas. Can't you gargle or something?"

Scots wurd o' th' day. Bumfuck.

I'm lying of course.

It's "chitterie-chatterie", n., a piece of bread eaten immediately after bathing. As in, "I'm starving after that hip-bath - throw another lump of coal on the fire Isa and pass us ma chitterie-chatterie. Bung some crowdie on it if there's any ben the hoose."

That one IS genuine - from page 83 of Chambers's Scots Dictionary, 1959 edition.

Or

"Dorty-pouch", n., a saucy person. As in, "We dinnae hae nae dorty pouches in this hoose, ken."
From page 141, ibid. as they say.

Still has me in hysterics.

King of Comedy - Pupkin Chats with Liza & Jerry

I'm very tempted to say this is my favourite movie clip. Just, you know, says a lot about the ...oh I can't be bothered.
The final line from the scene is clipped - it's a shame as it's the best "Good luck in Rio".

Kind of a metaphor for life. Good luck in Rio. As if.

Scots wurd o' the nicht - "buck"

Does anyone ever use this word? The only place I've encountered it is in Midlothian. It was used as a substitute for the eff word.

Buck off. Not buckin' likely. I'm buckin' freezin'. And so forth.

Buckin' broncos never came into it. Unfortunately.

The Jesus & Mary Chain - Blues From A Gun live Oslo 2007

Processed meat of the week

Chopped pork, from the local butcher's, via Spar.

I know, I know.

It's packed full of salt, chemicals, preservatives, and saturated fat. That's why it tastes brilliant.

On a sandwich with a bit of tomato as sop to the bowels. Sprinkling of pepper. Eh??

Oooh I think I've a wee touch of indigestion...pain under the ribcage, centre of chest, radiating up into the jaw and down the left A-A-A-A-R-R-R-MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!

Sound horn

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm......no, I won't.

Biscuit of the week - the Coco-nut Ring

I'm repeating myself again. I knew I shouldn't have eaten that second slice of black pudding this morning.

No. I have featured the Co-operative Coco-nut Ring as biscuit of the week before.

I'm sorry to be doing it again, really I am, but I have a very limited biscuit range. I only really eat Toffee Dodgers, jam sandwich creams (Fox's, preferably) and these. And that's probably quite enough. I'm not really interested in further biscuit exploration. I don't care for a chocolate biscuit as a rule, but if I do I would probably opt for a KitKat. Although I quite like those really chunky chocolate chip cookies. I dislike the word "cookie".

Anyway - the coconut ring is a plain biscuit, light and shortbready in texture with a very good coconut flavour - so good that it might well be artificial but I can't be bothered checking the list of ingredients to find out. There are loads in the packet and they're only 87p so a pretty good buy I reckon.

Highly recommended.
