I used to call a friend 'Chum' but he complained it sounded like I was calling him a tin of dog food. I said "sorry Pal".

Chinney! LOL!

Fond memories of chanting "chinny chin chin!" whilst rubbing one's own Brucie when you knew someone was fibbing.

Fibbing. Another good one.

I use rad all the time.:-/

We used to say 'bez', if we thought someone was telling fibs.

Pagga, as in 'thus, a pagga ensued'.

Please, thank you, hello, and sorry.

I don't use the word Gay. It was once used to describe a nice-happy day.

I had a gay of a time today. Good for you, Etc.

But now it represents homosexuals (Ok fine) and now to describe a negativity description.

I'm gay = I'm happy, I'm a homosexual or I'm a sad individual.

I want my word back I want to describe my happy day.

I want to shout to the world I'm GAY!

"Outwith" - great Scottish word!! Also "uplift" - like "we will uplift the rubbish on Thursday".

Also - "playpiece". Whe we moved to Scotland my daughter came home from her first day of school and asked if she could take a "playpiece" to school. Mrs DrJ, being a bloody foreigner, had no clue what she was talking about.
