Aplomb, except for on football commentaries.

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! 😆

Sounds a bit tinnie if you ask me... "gay" don't think it'll catch on.
"aaaaawwwwwwwlraightoh!" (as heard in 'place your hands' by Reef)
also variety of mencap/spastic society-baiting insults.
and that 'neighbours' staple "You flamin' Galaaaah!"

"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.
