Aplomb, except for on football commentaries.

‘He surged into the box, with aplomb’.

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.

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.
