more fun Scottish phrases

Having some trouble downloading my pictures so will entertain you with more phrases from the Scottish highlands.  We got drookit a couple of time during heavy rains.  Drookit means drenched. Happily this didn't happen often. Business people really do carry their umbrellas with them all the time in London and Edinburgh. You dicht with a clout (wipe or wash something with a cloth). Unfortunately this concept doesn't extend to the shower - no washcloths anywhere. A kist is a chest or box. To blether is to chat or talk or talk too much. If something, like a bed sheet, becomes bumfled it needs to be smoothed out. So now you know.
