Abstract

Why waste time constructing proper grammatical english sentences, when you could have it over and done with in 2 words? We wouldn’t want to waste beer drinking time now would we! So anyway jings is a bit like jeez but not as popular. Crivvens is an old old word and as far as i know has no uses in todays active scottish language. The only place I know of it to exist is within the oor wullie comic book. Its meaning is like I already said, like an expression of bewonderment or surprise. Its said exactly like it looks. tam o'shanter - old term for a wooly hat, still heard sometimes, from the Rabbie Burns poem "Tam O'Shanter" Meanwhile, Corpuz generously conceded a two-foot putt on the 17th that gave Stark a 13th European point and set the scene for Ciganda. With time, the Scottishness of Oor Wullie so very prominent in the earlier issues has been toned down in the more recent issues. This, however, does not mean that Oor Wullie has become less interesting or that it is not just as playful today – with new digital means of communication.
