Words we used

[Hughie]

Had a look through these again. Did I really post what's in the 'Spoiler' in this post: https://www.threetowners.net/forum/view ... 203#p85203

"Smout" - "a small insignificant person".

Yes we used that word a lot. What about a 'Heathen' - a person who is against any form of religion or churchgoing.

I think Heathen's nowadays are pretty much Atheists in a non derogatory sense, they don't believe in God but most of them probably aren't against religion as such.

more of an expression....I was complaining to my daughter about the weight of her sons schoolbag and I said to her " The weight of that on his back 'will stunt his growth'. She couldn't understand me, never heard that expression in her life. We had a good laugh.

"will stunt his growth''.

Remember this saying well from when I was a youngster, it was usually used to warn kids of one of the dangers associated with Smoking.

Tootle - "To move or proceed in a leisurely way."

A Scots weather presenter reminded me of this word when describing rain clouds moving north.

Brian f, this above is what I was giving an opinion about so I reckon you must have quoted me in error. No worries though as after all we're only human.
