Scottish Sayings & Phrases

OK now I have this mental image of cheeks flapping in the wind

"Haste ye back" in Southern American English = "Y'all come back soon now, ya hear?" :-)

In Sweden we have our own version of 'speak of the Devil', which is 'när man talar om trollen', which literally means 'when you talk about the trolls'.

"Speak o' th' Devil" was a common expression where I grew up in the US back in the fifties, so I don't think it's particularly Scottish. We also used to call "running off at the mouth" having a case of "oral diarrhoea".

I love u Scotland

Ach! I cannae wait for yer next vidiea

"Talking out of your ass" is a thing here in the USA also

FIRST!!!!!!!!! Guys follow me on twitter! I love replying to almost every tweet I get: @MoscoMoon

"I'm fair puckled" - US has something similar, "plumb tuckered out". Pretty old slang though, not something you'd hear nowadays. "Speak o' th' Devil" - Yup, US has this one. "Yer aff yer heid" - Closest would be like, "you're out of your mind". "Dinnae cast a cloot until Mays oot" - This is a new one. "A nods as gud as ah wink tae ah blind horse" - I am almost sure that there's an equivalent in US slang, but it's not coming to me. Your Vauxhall Corsa example makes me think of the Baader-Meinhof effect, though. "Yer bums oot the windae" - or, in US English, "you're talking out your ass". "Dinnae be a wee clipe" - "Snitches get stitches".

Great video. I love learning Scottish sayings. I also love Erin. I've been following her for a few years now.

I googled "haste ye back" back when I first started watching your channel. haha I love stuff like this! keep it up!

allot of your sayings are actually very similar to ours in the USA. just move a couple words and they would be the same lol. but anyways still love your videos. keep up the great work :) Hugs from the southern USA!

Really enjoy your videos. I have a strong desire to visit Scotland since I found out that my 5th great grandfather was from Dunfermline, Scotland and moved to Kentucky, USA about 1750. I've traced that family line back to 1649 all of them from Dunfermline.

I LOVE your animated wee fox in the intro!!!

I absolutely love your haircut! So cute on you!

Sometime ask your viewers how the phrase on your shirt should have ended. I had fun with your "All who wander" shirt in your Scottish Age Restrictions video. I was already thinking of new phrases when I noticed that the question was answered too quickly.  Still enjoyed the video. You are such a charmer.

great video Mosco!
