If they wanted a whole cigarette they’d ask, “crash me a fag”. Or if some little tink was hanging about waiting to smoke the very last millimetre before it burned down to the filter, "Leave us the beef". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Montrose the last draw of a fag was called a nipper. As in "gie's yer nipper". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 My dad used to describe someone looking miserable as having "a face like fizz". I heard someone else use it years later and I said that they were the only person apart from my dad who'd ever used it.That was a favourite of my gran, who also used to sniff my hair after I got out of the bath and say I smelled "like a poof's parlour".Some things are best left in the past [emoji848] 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means Police, after the show Hawaii 5-0. But i've only ever heard it in US TV programmes, such as The Wire, hence me asking if you were confusing Ayrshire for Baltimore with hearing that phrase being used. It's never funny when you've got to explain it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
