I have NEVER heard that .... it may have been a better choice for my own name

Volcano!!!! I feel young again!

It is a delicious term ... naive, almost

Chatty’s!!! I forgot about that place!

Scots-Irish - a heady cocktail

It’s not meant kindly - from my earliest memory of it it was a daring insult for kids to hurl - suggesting, I think, that the object of the term possessed both male and female genitalia ... it was always pretty funny and so I reclaimed it....

This. Is. Jezebel.

Bawbag, bawheid and cuntybaws are all gems.

Eddin-buh-ruh might be one way of explaining it....

Certainly, I have developed a poker face over the years when listening to people’s Scottish accents.

I fear I have lowered the tone. The Tunnel should only ever be mentioned in a whisper amongst one’s closest friends.

I learned very early not to be a smart-arse/bawheid in the company of drunk Scottish ladies. That was a good lesson anyways.

I think “pagger”has fallen from use. I escaped involvement only because of my east-coast bafflement.

It is not a name that is without troubles ... I tried once upon a time to explain its origins to someone it inadvertently offended. I was not successful.

AND we can rotate though them at dizzying speed.

Sadly I am an exile, washed ashore in the New York many moons ago and stuck here

Not shy, drunk Scots men. You get tears and laughter and then a fight and a cuddle all in one.

It seems I was being asked to lend a hand in a fight that was none of my concern....

I recall with fondness the first time I was approached at night in Glasgow (outside The Tunnel, I confess) and asked to lend a “haunner” in a “pagger”.

It’s true ... there aren’t many of us here.
