i just used the ol 'walkin around like your sh*t don't stink' line to describe the attitude of a few of the interns here at the office.
another fave is 'wack potatoes'
what are some of your faves? |

"Glaikit" - meaning the light's are on but no one is at home.
He's that skinny he bought a striped shirt... and it only had one stripe on it.
Or he's that skinny he's the only person I know who has to run around in the shower to get wet.
He's that mean he could open a bar of chocolate in his pocket with boxing gloves on.
It's just occurred to me that these and many other's could be the Scots equivalent of. Yo Mama...

My grandma was from the south and she had a lot of good ones.
A conceited person would be "strutting around like a rooster in the rain." If you've never seen a rooster in the rain, they lift their heads way up so the water runs down their back, making them look very snooty.
"Scarce as hens' teeth."
One from my grandpa, when you can't sleep you've "got the big eye."

Someone with a bad aim (usually a sportsman or woman) could be said that "He couldn't hit a coo in the arse wae a banjo"
I once worked with a guy who's nickname was "destroyer", I thought it was quite a cool moniker until I found out the reason he was called destroyer... he was always looking for a sub.

| I think "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" is totally true! I eat about 7-10 apples a week and I'm never sick. |
