you say that,
"eejit" is used very frequently in douce Edinburgh,normally preceded by the "F" word.

could it be that you hear the phrase more than most wherever you may be?

Aah Trevor,that explains everything!

Hello all,

Trevor, thank you!I will try to find the appropriate spellings and get back to you. nossta cariad...that's phonetically said.

Terry,I did not realise the horrors of using the "b" word. Would have never have used it if I thought a "t" word might be listening in.

I will take more care...that's a "c"word.

The Joker, Aye, me thinks you are a fellow Scot...she says in a brave heart voice and shows bottom!

The word "eejit" has been used in Donegal since forever. And also in Scotland, where I believe one of my most favourite words, "numpty", originated. Goodnight!

While on the subject of descriptive words, I was explaining to Wee Jock the other day that I am reading the McFlannells with my granddaughter. The phrase I had to translate was 'thon shauchly wee nyaff'. Very descriptive.

pipesmoker,

I love it, I haven't used the word nyaff in years. It will be my word for the day.

But I have never heard of shaucly. what does it mean?

Must google the McFlaggans.
