New Look

[Chardonnay]

Read in Courier this morning that New Look is set to add it's name to Homebase site. That will be just brilliant for us girlies..........can't wait!!! This is so what Wick is needing.

[champagnebaby]

I think it's ace too - one of my fave shops!!

Prob won't be so impressed when everyone else is kitted out in new look clothes and we're all wearing the same though.

[porshiepoo]

I'm gonna have to grovel and admit to unspeakable hypocrisy here, but if new look is coming to wick, I can't wait!:)

I know I get the same feeling when you buy a nice Jacket or whatever from MacAllan's and see it on 3 other folk on the Street but least New Look have a much bigger selection and the prices are far cheaper than MacAllans (people will be able to afford some new gear at reasonable cost!)!!:cool:

[champagnebaby]

Aye i know that feeling, lol

Should save my clubby bills too hopefully, lol

[weeboyagee]

:rolleyes: Aye - right enough - just what Wick needs - a new look! :p

[Spittal Hill Eagle]

Try living in Spittal. No shops here apart from the garage.

I also heard that there is going to be a McDonalds beside Tesco? Any truth in this?

[Chardonnay]

I wouldn't mind living out in the Country. Hate e Town!!

I hear alot of things are happening i.e. Top Shop, Next & yes I heard MacDonald's, until you read it in the papers then believe it.

Whatever comes is gonna be a bonus and change Wick forever. Can't wait for New Look & Tesco's!!! :p

[crayola]

Kl! Im 1st in e q

[porshiepoo]

I've been trying to keep up with this thread but I'm completely flummoxed now. :(

Can someone give us a list of all these words you lot are coming out with cos the likes of l'il ole me doesn't understand them :(

what is dek at yeh jaikit on yon bird? pleeeaaaase!

[cullbucket]

chavvy deeks dilly, ye'll hev till hev a blether wi a local biyeagie

[phoenix]

It means "look at the jacket on that girl/lady".

[porshiepoo]

chavvy deeks dilly, ye'll hev till hev a blether wi a local biyeagiee


So what does that lot mean?
The first bit I've got no hope with but am I right in thinking that the last bit says I'll have to have a chat with a local ....bike? eagle? bi - eagle? :(
Crumbs! Is there no web site that anyone knows of? :D

[Naefearjustbeer]

my goodness woman you will have to have a chat with a local boy or something along that lines, dificult to give a accurate translation of Chavvy deeks

[crayola]

A local bike? Lol, no!!! There's a different word for the "local bike" and it's not pretty.

biyeagie = boy (literally, at least). but it could be an adult. Usually is in fact.

The etymology is kinda like this:

biy(e) = boy

agie = not sure what the technical term is. The "familiar form"?

[porshiepoo]

I've just done some detective work!

Does Gollach really mean Earwig? lol

Anyways I don't understand all this clishmaclaiver ;) So I suppose that makes me a bit of a baw juggler? and i don't have a scooby why you would call a polis car a jamsandwich and then call a jam sandwich a jeely piece!

is there really such a thing as a merkin?????? Urgh! Just the thought!!!!!

[twee dledum]

:rolleyes: what school did you go to then porshiepoo?

[porshiepoo]

:rolleyes: what school did you go to then porshiepoo?


I'm not from round here, but I went to a pretty good school. Why was my wording wrong? Well I did say I don't understand it, but at least I'm trying;) :p

[twee dledum]

:rolleyes: oh, I thought so!

[porshiepoo]

:rolleyes: oh, I thought so!


Sorry couldn't leave the eton bit on, it was a big fat lie! :rolleyes:

[twee dledum]

:rolleyes: MMm I thought that too!!!

[crayola]

I think we woulda known. They dinna allow lassagies at Eton, hid's for biyeagies only.

And they would know if you tried a merkin for a beard.

[porshiepoo]

Oh dear god, perish at the thought. lol
I take it I am not mistaken then and there really is such a thing as a merkin?

[twee dledum]

At least i'll be able to pick up a fine new
pair o kegs now

[Naefearjustbeer]

Oh dear god, perish at the thought. lol

Methinks your detective work has taken you south of the ord Porshiepoo! The Caithness dialect which has been quoted is quite distinct from other forms of Scots. If you want to be really confused you should try attending a Caithness dialect event such as the annual Festival - a lot of it is in the pronunciation!

Mind you, not sure where Chavvy Deeks comes from - must be a 'modern' addition!

QUOTE]
Yes it does mean an Earwig, it is a term of scorn inflicted on the good and kind folk of Caithness by those lowlanders from Sutherland. But its a good Caithness word and describes me to a tee LOL.
look up "Dialect" on the Caithness drop down menu and have a lesson and a laugh, Porshie and the best of luck at 'e pronounciation

It is a way of speeking I have only heard come from wick loons.

[champagnebaby]

Ahhhhhahahaha!! LOL

I wasn't really following this thread but was wondering why you's were on about a merkin and what it was so i followed the link - that's made my day! LOL :o

First time i ever heard that word too! :rolleyes:

[cullbucket]

I was always told that a golach was a big hairy spider - the reverse term is Cattach (what us caithnessians call the sutherlanders..... wildcat)
Whatever way you look at it, they get the best creature....
looks my mither was wrong aboot golach then....
