Caithness slang word's or phrase's

[golach]

Golach = Earwig = Forkie Tail

[footie chick]

Haven't seen a forkie tail for years.

[squeezy]

Haven't seen a forkie tail for years.

Thank goodness, I hate the things.

Ever since I saw the Wrath of Khan and the bit where Khan puts the eels into the helmets of our intrepid explorers and they go into their ears. I've had a thing about bugs going into my ears, and particulary forkie-tails for some reason.

Back on topic, one of my favourites is:

Chiel - guy, bloke

[mike.mckenzie]

Chillie - its not just you, many many people do it and it winds me up. It couldn't possibly be personal because I have absolutely no clue who or what you are. Its the internet. Don't get so offended.

And the "lickin" reference was my addition to Caithness slang. My Nana used to say it when we wound her up!

Seeing lasagne spelt as lasange also winds me up.

Oh dear - just what I was thinking but didn't dare say I just like things right which is why, like you, I find all these apostrophes soooo annoying

Thought Halkirk was only known as Sin City

No Footie Chick that's the title for Inverness.

I was dead against the campaign to turn into a city because I though "Royal Burgh" had more class so wrote a letter to the Inverness Courier claiming it was so the other"quality" town paper could use the headline "Sin City".
Within a month they did!
But Halkirk had a head start what with boiling the Bishop of Caithness in butter when he asked the locals for more taxes.
Great idea for a local pie or pastie would be a "Bishop Burger". Could it be a menu special in the Ulbster Arms?

[pultneytooner]
