Six of one, half a dozen of the other round here.

Here's one from my time in Glasgow - "Away and boil yer heid".

Top Tip: Never, but NEVER! if you are drunk, on a train, in South London, late at night in 1994, say that to the 2 Scottish women sitting opposite you, thinking it might be somehow 'witty'.

You're obviously still deeply traumatised by this. What did they do to you?

I was just getting off the train. They swore profusely at me, got off the train too, even though it wasn't at their destination, and ran after me as I sprinted away. They would have half-killed me, I'm fairly certain, had they not given up the chase.

Not the worst way in the world to die though?

They're pretty spunky these Scottish girls, eh Fnaar!

I was reminded, as I was making a bacon sandwich this morning, that my grandmother used to complain you were leaving 'holidays' if you didn't spread the butter evenly all over.

''Absaloutely pure mauchit''- Glaswegian for unattractive/disgusting, eg ''some glaikit wee bampot boaked in the cludgie and it's absaloutely pure mauchit''.

Down here in deepest Sussex we say " to get the knock" or be "knocky", meaning to be in a huff, take offence.
I'm not sure whether it's local but I was told it was.

I used to work with a Danish fella for some years, he would often come out with things like...(not exactly, but you get the idea)..
'Hahaha, she's got breadsticks for brains'

He'd then slap his thigh and laugh raucously at what he'd just said, he seemed cock a hoop at his put down.

...perhaps you need to be Danish
