    Hardly anyone calls it Ginger down here.

    My dad stays in Aberdeen now and being from the West of Scotland says "wan" for the number 1. Gets the * taken out of him a lot for it apparently :smiley-laughing002:

    You never hear that anymore.
    But I do tend to call it ginger more than skoosh.

    Other great words:

    Drookit (with the added heefty, as in heefty drookit....or i'm * soakin)
    Skelped

    Dreich = dreary. Because it sounds like what it means.

    Curly already listed it but amadan is a brilliant word - but I dont hear it used enough
