What doesn't it mean?
I think it does mean that, but I doubt whether Scottish people actually say it much, and everyone else uses it wrong, so don't read into the meaning too much. It's just an expression of Scottishness. |

Absolutely. Just something Scottish that nobody understands. Like Haggis. A strange creature with 6 legs the size of a small dog. Only found in Scotland. |

| No, I was saying it would be great to get someone in a Scottish zoo to see one. They're wonderful little animals. Did you know that they explode if you try and take one across the border? Its true. I know. |
