Drookit
Hi All 👋 My entry for Debbie’s One Word Sunday: Wet.
Drookit means wet in Scots. Scotland, particularly the west, is known to be quite wet, maybe this is why the Scots language has so many words for it. Wet adjective weet, wat, weetie, sappie; (soaking wet) drookit, sypit, wat as muck; (rainy) saft, blashie, plowterie; (very wet: of weather) trashie; wet & windy blashie, brashie, gowsterie. (taken from the Concise English-Scots Dictionary by The Scottish National Dictionary Association). For anyone else interested in the Scots language, there is an online dictionaryhere.
Red sky in the morning, shepherd’s warning…
It’s gonna rain 
…and finally, the perfect example of gowsterieMy wife on a wet & windy day at Peterhead seafront. Raining hard, jacket inflated by gale force winds & still smiling!

“Here I am, sat in the rain, waiting & waiting” 
“She’s knows I’m here, & still keeps me sat in the rain” 
“What is that doos problem, I’ve kittens to feed!” 
“Finally, I’m starving” -
Hogmanay — Things in Scots #22 and Fan Of… #48
Hi All 👋 and welcome to the last Things in Scots for 2019; as I’ve been real busy at work the last few days, this is doubling up as a Fan Of… post. This month I have been collaborating with my wife, Susan (? follow this link to see and hear her post), and we’ve had so much fun that we are carrying on in the New Year with a weekly instead of daily post.
Hogmanay is the traditional Scottish celebration for the end of one year and the beginning of the next.
Happy hogmanay & all the best for 2020 to all
Happy Hogmanay 
Happy Hogmanay All the Scots words for these posts are taken from The Concise English-Scots Dictionary, by the Scottish National Dictionary Association. The words chosen will be the generally accepted term, but as in all languages there are regional variations, as well as sub-species variations. For example, an owl is generally known as a hoolet in Scots, but an ool in Shetland & the NE. A barn owl is a white hoolet & a long eared owl, a hornnie hoolet.
As we do these posts, we’re learning as well; so we apologise in advance for any mistakes?
If any of you out there have a burning desire to know the Scots word for anything, please let us know!
Hae a guid day
