You've got me thinking about stovies now.
My nan used to be excellent at making them.

It's a right bastard cleaning the pan afterwards, though.

You must know of stovies, surely?

Sorry,it's B3th, not Shirley. My mistake. I'm new here.

Yeah, I know stovies.
They're bogging.

I tell you what I do miss, though. Bridies. Can't get them down here.

"Bogging?"

( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 30 May 2012, 21:10, Reply)

It's Scots for minging.

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Wed 30 May 2012, 21:11, Reply)

Lies. Stovies are ace.

( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 30 May 2012, 21:12, Reply)

No
It's the other way round.

Mingin' is Scots for boggin'. Neither word has a "g" at the end. That's called English.

Nae
boggin' at a'.

Bridie's come fae Forfar, which is where God wid pit the tube if he winted tip' gie the world an enema. Or maybe that's Peterheid. I get confused.

Bradies, however are quite pleasant and are widely available.

I'll send you some, if you want.

I've never heard of bradies

Yeah
only they're not actually 'bradies'. They're 'bridies'.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Wed 30 May 2012, 21:18, Reply)

No
They're not.

They are only bridies in Forfar. Everywhere else they're called bradies. Apart from Dundee, where they all live in caravans and sell pegs for a living. Or tar your drive.
(Phudbree oh man, the Doric Yorick, Wed 30 May 2012, 21:22, Reply)

I've always known them as bridies.

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Wed 30 May 2012, 21:28, Reply)

I
Norite?

People north of Forfar don't call them that, though. Even Glaswegians call them East Coast Shite Sandwiches.

It's like folk from Fife call tatties, "totties." Nobody else does.
(Phudbree oh man, the Doric Yorick, Wed 30 May 2012, 21:35, Reply)

Yeah, but they're funny in Fife.
Look at my brother, for starters.

Worked in Fife, for a brief period.

The doctors used to write "FEFF" in the notes.

It meant fucked, even for Fife.

To be fair, I've only been there once. I peed in the park and they got another star in the tourist board ratings.
