The best thing about Scots is the extensive range of insults.

[@brianb.1883]

I’m an American of Scottish heritage, my family came (were exiled) to Boston just before the Rovolutionary War, then joined the Continental Marines when it all kicked off. From the first time I heard it, the Scottish accent sang to my soul. These insults are awesome, and I would start using them immediately, if any of my American friends would have any idea of what I was talking about. lol

[@zoeywatson8694]

My favourite is “Yer bum’s oot the windae”

[@patriciafreitas6451]

My favourite too

[@catrionarodges-murray1639]

I'm still partial to "face like a skelped arse" and "get it up ye". 😂

[@ErinsHoose]

Get it up ye is BRILLIANT

[@ASMRMuzz]

'face like a well skelped arse' is the power up version.

[@sebastiancorredor9772]

Could you explained the first one? Doesn't make any sense to me... I'm not native if it helps for not seeming like a friggin bawbag haha :P

[@Mex_the_Fox]

I guess it means like "shove it up your arse" @@sebastiancorredor9772

[@laurenceegan6136]

My gran had a less offensive version of this to describe someone with a reddish complexion. She would say that a person "had a face like a stalk of last year's rhubarb".

[@gateway8833]

One of my Commanding Officers was a Scott born and raised. This guy was our Regimental Commander so we really listened when he spoke, problem was we couldn’t understand a single word he’d say. We would be in formation and he would dismiss us for the weekend and we wouldn’t move, so the first couple times that happened he thought we were messing with him so he asked on of the Majors if the unit was full of “eejit”. The only thing the major said was Aww, Uaa, Sir? The entire time all of us are just shifting looks at each other, like what language is that, sounded like a bunch of rrrrrs, birttt, buurrr, he turned out to be one the most inspirational leaders I served with, well, when I wasn’t being an eejit.

Ive not lived in Scotland for a while, but I can’t believe you missed my favourite with the accent: “away and bile yer heid”. :)

[@ErinsHoose]

I've included that in previous vids but I'm afraid it's not one of my faves :p

"Yer maw wears a denim trackie"?! Lmao, I've never heard that before, that's brilliant!

[@capt.redbeard8361]

I'm a South African who lived in Paisley for a few years... I'm literally curled up laughing at these! Thanks Erin!

[@rayleendavidson3289]

Being Scottish I always laugh when I'm getting my messages and I see the cleaning products 'minky' 🤣🤣🤣 contradiction...

[@RatBasterd]

Grats on 50k! Your channel is brilliant and so's yer maw. 😉

[@DevinY1]

I recently found out about Scottish insults and I'm in love.

[@burants89]

Bawhair is an official measurement here

[@moragwilson8966]

burants 7

[@htbahb]

And 10 bawhairs is a baw

[@Barbreck1]

12 Bawhairs is the "Peak o' yer bonnet."

[@hardcorenevadies3672]

Yea the old classics “ yer a bawbag” “ ya fcking rocket” “ ya dafty “ “ ya fanny “ I’m a traditionalist so you can’t beat the oldies lol

[@kyramarjamaa]

Glad to find your channel. I’m an American who will be studying abroad in Scotland starting in January, so I’m excited to learn about Scottish culture.

[@leemcfadden3955]

And I am sooooo happy that there is a Scottish KZbinr. I LOVE YOU

[@daved2352]

"Yer maw can be used for anything" Fantastic.

[@septcyj2694]

always excited to watch your videos!

[@meldy9227]

I'm also from Scotland ❤ i love this channel and that a lot of people from America and different countries watch this channel to see their reactions to Scottish words and culture, and to see their nice compliments about Scotland ❤ it makes me happy 😀

[@stevo54838]

I'm Australian. My grandparents were Scottish. My grandfather used to at times use the word "duffer" to describe someone who had done somethin silly. My grandfather was born before 1910 so the word "duffer" would most likely be a wee bit outdated now.

[@Sylens21]

Giiiirrrrl you make the Scottish accent sound Scottish. Seriously, though, thanks for this. It's been a bit since I've been to Scotland and I miss the people and the accent. Slainte Mhath!

[@cherisedeeley2199]

Thanks for making my day! Love watching your videos!

[@ErinsHoose]

Thanks for watching :)

[@JustCallMeCarly]

Yass love seeing other Scottish people on KZbin! Im new to this but hope my videos are as good as yours one day you crack me up 😂😂

[@ErinsHoose]

Awww I'll need to check out your channel :D thank you!

[@caiorodrigues40]

justcallmecarly Subscribed to your channel too. Good to hear you scottish people. Success with the channel.

[@Didishie]

i flippin adore these types of videos

[@ErinsHoose]

Glad you enjoy!

[@GlenMoyer]

Love this, the very reason I started following you, your "Scottish" videos. Numpty is my absolute fave Scottish word though some have said I can be a bit crabbit at times. ;)

[@ErinsHoose]

Hahah! Thank you :)

[@robotnic]

lol this video could have been called, "my favourite Scottish words that mean 'idiot'". Glaikit is definitely one of my favourites.

[@Eva-he8hu]

Not even watched the video yet and I already know it will be great x

[@joannarailton1621]

Congratulations on 50k and Yeh the first one is the best insult 😂😂

[@addictedtogaming4483]

Not really an insult but I always loved "peely wahly" used to describe someone who looks pale or ill

[@burants89]

Good one is "yir maws got baws and yir da loves it" yeah we've clearly got the best patter ever.....proven fact Edit: my mum used to say "take that glaikit look off yir face"

[@maryrauch954]

ErinI really love your Scottish were videos they’re just so cool you guys are just so amazing in the vocabulary department and your accent is amazing great video hope to see more

[@chefprov]

I want to buy a parrot and teach him Scottish insults ! Keep him in our restaurant for our “SPECIAL” customers 🤔😂🐖💨💨💨

[@ErinsHoose]

Pleeeeease do

[@gordonm7038]

That can be arranged...

[@marielcalder103]

chefprov That is hilarious! Here's another one...you mother wears army boots. Yer mither wears airmy bits...from my long ago childhood.

[@thomasginn1839]

Great insult video. I noticed that most of yet favorite of insults are some variation of idiot. My favorite is grabbit and bawbag. I've actually been using some of them.

[@gordonm7038]

"Munter" is amazing. A clueless, dishevelled person who follows the crowd.

[@ErinsHoose]

We use munter here to mean someone ugly

[@robzombie5969]

And whatever you do, don't look up "munting" . it's weird...

[@Dan-rd9nn]

love coming in from work to watch your vids 😘

[@ErinsHoose]

Thank you for watching!

[@toobydude41]

Haha too funny and love the outtakes too. Nothing insulting about 50,000 subs!! CHEERS!!

[@ErinsHoose]

Thank you!

[@clau1887]

My favourite Is bawbag, definetely. If you are a South American person the translation Is "saco 'e weas" (faithful translation of a half Scottish guy).

[@middleburgprepper2342]

Love yer maw...for makin you! Best to ya love.

[@DougieMcGibbon]

Some old ones... Glaikit, nyaff, besom, schemie, soap dodger, wazzak

[@AScotsmanOutdoors]

HaHa! "Yer maw wears a denim trackie!!" A new one for my arsenal. Some classics in there and one that recently came home from the wee one's school... "you've a face like a Ford Fiesta"??? Apparently it means it's all over the place like the front of the new Fiesta HaHa! Who knew?

[@ErinsHoose]

Hahahahaha brilliant

[@AndalusianIrish]

I am from Northern Ireland and have Scottish ancestry. Some Scots dialect is used here. One of my favourite words is "sleekit" to mean sneaky or devious. My Granda also used to use "galoot" to mean idiot.

[@cheyannetaylor8379]

Just love your videos !!!

[@ErinsHoose]

Thank you!

[@amethystrosemaclaren5853]

Well! I've never been so insulted in all my life! LMAO... Such a fun video Erin. I giggled and laughed through the whole video. Thanks! Have a great week. Blessings always.

[@ErinsHoose]

Thank you, and you! :D

[@Brilchan]

Thanks for the video especially for having the spelling in the description right now I'm playing an RPG game and a forum and my character is a Scottish punk from Glasgow who is held at the point of the sword by a Japanese Yakuza ninja warrior (its a superhero game in the style of CW "Arrow "or "Flash") his being used hostage to force the other players to help the Yakuza escape. After trying to get free and falling I cobbled up this flowery sentence thanks to your video and some comments "Yer Bawbag! get ye butter knifer in Yer Eejit Numpty Mink Fud! Ye Crabbit Tub Yer!" its still pretty mild because its mostly stress/pain relief he dos not want to attack his family or get into harder curse words but does not want to provoke the Yakuza too much a middle ground :D I will post a hyperlink to the video in my post so that you will get some more views thanks for the content

[@DirtPerson]

I studied in Edinburgh back in 2015. Wonderful country. I have to wonder how many times these insults were used against me and it just flew over my head.

[@simonaltcoin4963]

Tube is my favorite one , Thanks Erin , Scottish people are so nice .

[@emzemma]

I'm from Australia but have Scottish in me and have relatives there. It's my spiritual home! My all time favorite is calling people numptys or eejits. Thanks for the video!

[@djrobinson7506]

Erin your looking stunning as always love the video

[@rickonstott1465]

Love your facial expressions they crack me up.. one of my favorite insults is calling people a jackass!! When they do stupid things especially driving... Your friend in Clearwater Florida 😎

[@jamiejack7559]

Erin do a Scottish stereotypes video plz ily ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Love_Honor89]

Thank you so much for a such interesting explanations! I enjoyed! 😊😊

[@sanjuro66]

At work, I use "numpty". I love that word. LOL. Also, I use the Irish words "langer" and "gobshite" along the with the aforementioned. Being from the states, no one knows what i'm talking about.

[@caiorodrigues40]

Oh my God I simply love this accent. I was planning to study English there in Scotland. I got a better deal for England, (un)fortunately, though. At least I'll be able to go there. Subscribed (long time ago).

[@alisdairmclean8605]

I am over on the east side of Scotland, Angus, here a common term for idiot it 'neep'. Need also means turnip. He's a richt neep. But we also have the same insults that you have just mentioned.

[@addocd2332]

do insults differ the further North you go in Scotland? Also, I'm from America and have used Eedjit for years. Never knew where it came from. Also, loved the blooper reel.

[@architexturalchaos1862]

Scottish (people as well) is absolutely delightful. You had me at (forgive my spelling) "You have a face like a melted welly" Only after moving to Scotland did I understand why "Ned" is the best wine label ever.

[@jessicadrury156]

My favourite is just 'ye spoon', dunno why but the randomness of calling someone a spoon really gets me

[@chillerdark]

Och, Erin! You're wonderful!

[@Frankz011]

Bawbag is the funniest!! And hurricane Bawbag just killed me XD

[@emmaheart7617]

My favourite insult is "yer a fanny like yer da" or the irn bru " ye come fae a long line oh fannies" 😂😂

[@tomcarberry4445]

How about “yer Da’s a lavvy attendant’. Or as the say in France “say nae mer”.p to mention a few.

[@BrainSlugs83]

Omg, I cracked up so hard when you said "yer da' sells Avon." XD

[@noahcount7132]

Great presentation. One of your Scottish insults, CRABBIT, is mirrored by an American version that has been around forever, but with a slightly different spelling and pronunciation -- CRABBY. In the states a CRABBY person is called a CRAB or an OLD CRAB.

[@ErinsHoose]

Yeaah we have the word crabby here too. But crabbit is a good Scottish one :)

[@karmabomb445]

I may be wrong but I always thought crabbit had something to do with crabapple ie sour and bitter. Maybe I'm the only one who thinks this, has anyone also heard this?

[@amytaylor9844]

Hiya! I’m Scottish also! I love ur videos and I’ve been using some of ur words 😂😂 x

[@ErinsHoose]

Thank you

[@themunk85]

tinker also which means dirty but I do believe it came from a time where leproacy or leopards. sounds like cheetahs but people with lepor disease had to walk with bells to warn people they were coming which was sad but it was a great way to overcome akward situations.. :)

“Loss for words just say yer maw” In the Scottish lands: Someone ask you to help them but you didn’t understand it Shrugs “yer maw” and then casually walks away

[@nomeaknat]

I would have to go with mink. Here its used to describe a woman who is attractive. I might just start saying that to some people and have them think I am giving a compliment.

[@ErinsHoose]

Hahahaa woahh!

Ah wudni be sayin that if 'ra boyfriend wiz err? And If he didn't perform one of his gentlemanly duties, he would be instantly dropped to the level of; BANGER!! 😂 Yer Manza BANGER!!

My favorites are: Bawbag, Numpty, and Fud... (Unrelated to the video) But my boyfriend is trying to learn how to do a Scottish accent, (because he now knows, that I find them attractive). And I think I'm going to start showing him more of your content, to help him with it a little bit
