My dad was complaining about adolescents in general the other day.

Actually used the word 'Beatniks'.

"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.
