Doric!

A question about : Doric!

Anyone on here speak doric or am i the only one ( bar twink of course, my mum)

This is the language confined to the north east scotland

Few examples are:

quine (kwine) - lass, girl
loon - lad, boy
bosie (bozie) - cuddle, hug
greetin' - crying, sobbing
gads - yuck

My dh takes the mickey out of me when i say brakfast!

Best answers:

• I've never heard of doric. Although greetin is a common word for crying in the north of England too

• Ok who can decipher this one: ps i can
  Wee Angus on his wae frae work
  would hit tha pub fa a perk
  O' Tennents lager frae tha keg
  whiles chatting up tha barmaid Meg
  A pint or twa there wae friens
  a' bleathering awa like scholars an Deans
  Debators O Parlimentary views
  Ministers preaching o'er tha pews
  Wae drink in hand they'd laugh their fill
  tha glory Mead upon their bill
  Yelping like some bairney pups
  catching breeths atween their sups.
  (nae wiser a man than yin filled wae ale
  Nae greater a time than while drinking frae tha Grail.)
  In football games they A' would linger
  or singing songs for all's a singer
  Nae matter how bad tha voice
  a' would request their favorite choice
  Happy all wae drink in hand
  while holding up the bar they stand
  In rattled curses tae tha bumping airms
  while viewing o'er some lassies chairms
  Whispering oot all dreams an desires
  that drink within them all inspires
  An' Angus kens that soon or late
  he tae hame must tak tha gate.
  Kenning tae deep doun inside
  his drunken breath he'd better hide
  Saying fareweel tae friens and foes
  leaing ahind tha pub's warm burning coals
  Doun he stummels tae tha chippy
  tha air ootside tis crisp an nippy
  Making him drunker than afore
  he side steps frae door tae door
  Eating his fish supper, enjoying each bite
  thinking aboot all that's happened tha night.
  Till there he rouns tha corner street
  His hame sae warmly it does greet,
  Falling o'er tha step ootside his hame
  Tha door it opens, Behold his sullen Dame
  Trying tae act sober wae all his might
  afore his wifie here tha night
  But she nae fool nor blind tae see
  his daft antics, his blabbering plea.
  In comes Angus wae words O' love
  tae face tha thumping slap an shove
  Her roaring voice would put fear intae tha Deil
  Hear wee Angus weep an squeal.
  What type O' life drink it brings
  that great at first yet later stings
  What worth has man tae waste his life
  wae drinks illusions an its strife.
  Sooner or later as true as Hell
  Yin cannie live save by its spell
  getting worse an worse day by day
  while friens an family turn away
  An Angus wheither he kens or no
  has drifted where tha drunkards go
  An time shall tell what fate bestows
  for tha Curse O Ale, nae man knows.

• I remember a few years ago going into a sweetie shop in Stonehaven there were 2 old boys talking away to each other, I could not understand a word, it was completely foreign, Isn't there a bizarre word for earwig, wish I could remember.

  *as eh was wa'kin doon the road
