Funniest use of "jobby" I ever heard was in an episode of Still Game. Yeah... you know the one I'm talking about. BTW - I'm from the States so it wasn't until I saw Still Game that I understood what my Scottish Gran meant by the phrase "Get it up ye" whenever I annoyed her.

[@carlclifford64]

When I was young, way back in the depth of the last century, here in Australia, a minge was a lousy person. If a friend would not share their lollies with you, you would call them a minge. “Aww, don’t be a minge gizz uz some”, plus some other interesting words.

[@pitchforkparty]

I remember "minge" from the Australian film 'Chopper.' It seemed in that context to mean "whine" or "complain."

[@cryptodentist]

I think that would be “whinge”

Here in the States "fanny" is just another word for ass or butt. It's also sometimes a nickname derived from Frances or Francine. Lol. I don't have any such nickname. But it's interesting to think about and American visiting Scotland with the name Fanny. 😂😂😂

I can appreciate a girl that is not afraid of terminology, used some of these terms myself when talking with my English cousins and mate's. It depends on the phrase in which you use the word cunt or twat. Cunt can mean idiot or moron, twat is a bit harsher. Note; warning never ever use the term cunt or twat in america it is a derogatory term and women will hound you for it lol

[@audreyburnes5600]

Fannyflaps had me laughing out loud but bawbag is still my favorite. And I don’t get why jobby is so awful, it sounds cute.

[@peterjamesfoote3964]

Fun and interesting. I don’t have to tell you that Fanny tends to mean rear end generically and Fanny packs were called that because they were originally intended to sit in the small of your back until pickpockets which is why they moved to the front when touring. The worst phrase I know is actually a pick up line my Fraternity Brothers taught us. You can translate it in google translate but I’m not going to do that here. Eg, “Mi pinga suda por ti!” I’m sure someone has suggested that you listen to George Carlin’s famous 1970’s routine “The 7 words you can’t say on Television” (in the 1970’s. You should watch it I’m sure it’s on You Tube, Apple Music, Spotify or whatever you get. It’s basically the routine that made him famous. Ah, wardrobe, stripes are very good to you. They are. Mesmerizing in fact. When they are in front of a plaid background though, it’s a little dizzying. Not bad, but it added a little surreal touch to the cute innocent girl look saying bad words thing. Not a criticism!!! Though if you ever want to do a Mesmerizing TikTok, the stripes in front of plaid thing is worth remembering. Note: I grew up in a family in which using ANY kind of “foul” language was not tolerated. But then my dad worked for the church for 25 years. So the only way I could get anything outbid in a foreign language. Yeah, I’m an old geezer (61) right now, but still, it’s hard to change. Thanks for an interesting post!

Fannybaws (Phannaig Bhal) was a fearsome pirate from Oban. It is said that he drank a bucket of whiskey every day as a baby and that he had a 2 foot long boaby. He is most well known for beating the vikings in an open war and defeating the mighty terrorsquid.

I laughed pretty good at Bawhair... The metalworking trades (at least) use the unit of measure "The LRCH" or "RCH".... Little Red C*** Hair... being slightly smaller than the Red C*** Hair. NOW the question is; what's larger? The Bawhair or the RCH? The REAL question is, how many times you think I'd get slapped trying to get the measurement of an RCH in Scotland? Or punched trying to get the Bawhair measurement? Probably best I just "estimate" them....

Tally means to count or score or number of something. Tallywacker means penis. What does Tallywacker mean? Probably the original and the less known meaning for a Tallywacker is the length of a rope wherewith the shepherd would tie a knot every 10 sheep and then whack the slowest one with it. The slang version of this term basically refers to a huge penis. To use tally as slang for penis means Scottish people have abbreviated the word Tallywacker. That's going to make it very confusing in Scotland when a person tries to use tally for a count. Although I can imagine people in Scotland laughing when a person use tally for the count. Gee I wonder why? 🤣

[@brocluno01]

You'all like to use the C word as a term of endearment, we use it as a put down or as a unit of measure. We have a bit thicker as in Black C*** Hair, or thinner (finer unit of measure) and in Red C*** Hair. Just giving you some options ... : -)
