Here are a few examples: most English speakers would be familiar with Yule as another way of saying Christmas, but Hogmany for New Years Eve, was new for me, even though for most of my life I’ve been singing Robert Burns’s very Scots song to celebrate it. Affront as a verb is defined as to cause to feel ashamed. In her comments following the definition, contributor Chris Robinson notes, “Affront is not uncommon in English, but Scots, seemingly in habitual paroxysms of black burning shame, have a particular partiality for the past participle. During my teenage years, my mother was regularly black affrontit at the shortness of my skirts.” In the lowlands a freckle is called a ferntickle and a quarrel between neighbors is a stairheid rammy.
