He seemed anything but cold, by all accounts sounded like a really warm and humble bloke like. @Renton aye she's pan bread. If it's not announced by Hogmanay I might be on the David Icke train. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35095 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) Can anyone explain why stoat the baw, the Geordie equivalent being stott the baal, is slang for having sex with an underaged lass? Irvine Welsh uses it all the time. The Geordie version just means bounce the ball without the same connotation.

Might be an Edinburgh thing. We do widely use "heid the baw" to call someone an idiot though. Maybe derived from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3357 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Thanks all, absolutely gutted. He was only 12 and Westies tend to live 16-18 years. He got really sick about four weeks ago with anemia and was being treated for that with good signs he would make a recovery. Then on the weekend things suddenly went downhill and he suffered internal bleeding, renal failure and developed diabetes. Poor little guy was in so much pain and there was nothing we could do. His sister, our Scottie, is beside herself, he was her favourite person, actually he took places one to ten, with mum being eleven and me about 35. Hopefully where ever he's gone, he's chasing bunnies, sniffing every bush/tree/corner he wants and the club he's named after are winning cups and premierships. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
