81SCOTTISH INSULTS
Please do not be insluted by my writing today it is meant for humor and of course if you ever visit Scotland,it will give you a little understanding of the Scottish language,most Scottish insults come in general conversation and are meant to be taken with a pinch of salt or a good insult back to the person who first commented.
as in the title of this hub,awa and bile yer heid (away and boil your head) which means go away.
Ya Bampot = you idiot.
Bessie = a rude bad tempered woman.

You have a rich dialect. You'd fit in well with my relatives in northwestern Nebraska who have quite a few colorful expressions, e.g., "snow ass-deep on a nine-foot Indian." Or "find a girl with a hare lip, and she'll stick with you forever."

thanks elbee appreciated.....jimmy
Being a Scot myself, and a qualified translator and occasional English teacher here in Barcelona, I find it EXTREMELY offensive that ALL of Elbee´s comments referred to women being ugly. In my experience, Scottish women (including myself of course) are a GREAT deal more attractive than their male counterparts. Where are the sayings related to ugly men!!??? There are plenty of them to use as examples!!
Fantastic put downs. As for politically correct Mhairi's comments. It is up to the women to make up their own offensive sayings. Daft Wee Lassie getting her uptight knickers in a twist.
