It's my partee and I'll cry if I want to.


Ebbie, there is quite a tradition in Scotland generally, and in the central belt particularly (Edinburgh-Glasgow),of friendly insults.
I would say they are of the same degree of fun poking as the yo momma jokes.
MeganL and I being both Glaswegians by birth, indulge in this quite a lot eg
Whit like ye auld bauchle how's yer bahookey fur blackheeds
Nae sae bad laddie, ah see ye're still wearin' the monkey's bahookey fur a face. Fancy a kick up the erse?


With apologies to anyone that doesn't believe people actually talk with an accent like that.
