📢 ANNOUNCEMENT KLAXON! Just 3️⃣ days to go! Our literary festival, the Soutar Festival of Words kicks off THIS Friday! Head over to buff.ly/3PRfyWK for the full weekend programme.
A guid choice! ⛅️ dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/flen…
In Carey Morning’s bairns rhyme Neeps and Tatties (2020) it’s the vegetables behaving badly: “They flung fierce words and sometimes worse, a stick, a stane, a sneisty curse. Yin might yekk, ‘Haw! Feartie breeks!’ then a rammie wid stert and rin for weeks.” #Scots
There are many senses for this word, ranging from “to plunge or thrust (a thing) into a (liquid), to submerge quickly” to “set down suddenly and heavily, to plump, plank, or slap down” and “to hit with a thump, punch”. dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/plow…
Dictionaries of the Scots Language defines macallum as “an ice flavoured with raspberry juice”. An early example comes from A J Cronin’s Hatter’s Castle (1931): “Now she was eating her macallum, a delicious concoction of ice-cream and raspberry juice”. 🍦 dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/maca…
