Children's charity "I Can" did an online survey to find the favourite words from all over the UK. Everyone paid £1 to enter their favourite onto a word wall and the results were collated. If you want to read more ..... the BBC news page has the info.
This has got my brain a ticking and I have come up with this list of MY favourite 10 scottish words ......
1. Numpty - fool, idiot
2. Peelywally - pale - my legs are looking a bit peelywally
3. Bowfin - horrible, disgusting
4. Crabbit - grumpy, bad mood
5. Dreich - miserable, cold, wet weather
6. Glaikit - glazed expression, stupid
7. Shoogle - shake
8. Keek - look
9. Wheesht - be quiet
10. Gutters - mud
... the list is endless.

Nice ones! I once knew a Scot who would ask "has he went yet?", which I thought was great.
