#glasgow

Glasgow's legendary East End street market.

Either absolutely steaming drunk or absolutely battered — context decides which.

Someone making an idiot of themselves; an embarrassment

Bold, cheeky, self-confident to the point of swagger

A cocky chancer with too much mouth for his own good.

A clue — almost always used in the negative ('I havnae got a scooby').

Absolutely reeking — a smell so bad you can taste it.

To stab someone — or the blade you do it with.

A sandwich — or anything between two bits of bread.

The communal stairwell or entry of a Scottish tenement.

To blank someone deliberately — the Scottish ghosting.

You're talking nonsense / lying

Filthy, clarty, in need of a bath.

I'm confused / my head's a mess

To attack or hit hard (also a razor/weapon)

Absolutely excellent — a superlative

A Glaswegian. Person from Glasgow.

A face-reddening moment of pure embarrassment.

A crazy, foolish or unhinged person

An idiot; literally 'head the ball'

Staggering drunk — bouncing off walls on the way home.

A young child; especially common in Glasgow and the west

In agony — or literally jumping/heaving with something.

Fizzy juice — any sweet carbonated soft drink, regardless of actual flavour.
