Scottish Slang Words Explained
Here is something for all you that have wondered what the heck myself, Ethan and Milky have been saying sometimes.
I stumbled across this a few days ago and its had me in stitches with words I use regularly and those that I had completely forgotten about.
There are a few swear words in here just to be warned. Its meant to be Glaswegian slang but most of the words here are used in mose Scottish places.
So this goes out to Milky and Ethan
Hope you all enjoy!

For something even more obscure, check out the Singlish dictionary at www.talkingcock.com
FYI, Singlish is a bizzare hybrid of English, Malay and various Chinese and Indian dialects "spoken" in Singapore. Even the name of the site is a Singlish term, meaning to talk rubbish (it's a satirical Singaporean site)
Here's a sampler:
CURI AYAM (Contributed by Mike Soo)
A Malay phrase which literally means "stealing chicken", it is an expression meaning to do something surreptitiously. Exactly what the surreptitious action isdepends on the doer, but it's often illicit.
1. "My wife is out of town! Now I can curi ayam!"
2. "Once my boss leaves the office then I can curi ayam and talk cock with you, okay?"

Milky do they still have the Bruns in scotland. (a comic book about a scottish family)
I remember reading the comic at my Granddads. It was actually quite funny after he'd explained it. It read as total gibberish if you weren't Scottish
