Before you start taking the piss out of what people say, it might be better to inform yourself a little.

Here's a slight expansion of what I originally said. If you are really interested, then perhaps you might be inclined to find a copy of the "Concise Scots Dictionary". I don't have the time to go into the origin of every word.

Scots Language

Scots is the name given to the language which developed from the Germanic dialect spoken by the Angles who settled in the SE corner of Scotland during the 7th century and which gradually replaced Gaelic as the language spoken in southern and eastern Scotland. It is a sister language to English, sharing a common root in what is now refered to as Old English.

A useful reference is The Concise Scots Dictionary (Aberdeen University Press - ISBN 0-08-028491) which also contains an excellent history of the Scots language.
