Scottish Words/Things You Think About on the Treadmill

The Scottish word for Carpenter is Joiner. I'd never thought about it before, but isn't that a lovely word?

It actually means something, being able to join together bits of wood, while carpenter just looks like a word. Joiner. Hee.

Jesus' da was a joiner.

I don't think there is anything exclusively Scottish about "joiner".

You could be right - I am exclusively Scottish though, so that would explain it.
