It doesn't have the same 'solid' meaning in my native Low German, but we also say 'buten un binnen' for 'outside and inside', which is close enough to follow the language's migration from the Saxon shores to the Scottish Borders!

More importantly: What misophist quotes is not a well-known little poem but the chorus to a well-known Edinburgh song. However, looking for a recording of it is driving me round the bend! Can anyone guide me to one? I once heard Nancy Nicolson sing it, but as far as I know she still hasn't recorded it. Robin Laing's song of the same title is a self-penned one. Where, oh where ...?
