While looking for a definition of "Nippy Sweety" as used to describe a lovely woman who could surprise you with her tartness (that's tartness, not tartiness or tartarness) just as a boiled sweet can make your mouth pucker, I came across this page of Scottish words from the BBC:

It doesn't have clabber, or even stoor, but I liked it anyway.

I hate weegee. Nearest I've ever come to a fight in a pub was over that.... (Well, actually it was a bit more complicated than that, but, well, he was a bit of a pain...)
