Quine - woman
Fit like - How are you?
Foos yer doos? - How are you getting on?
Muckle - many/much
Tholed - Doing, as in "I canna be tholed wi' that"
Chavin' awa' - I'm ok

Thank god, I though maybe I was the only one that'd heard that over there! Me Scotsman usually called it the bog, sometimes the loo, but mostly the bog.

Seeing as we have at least three Scots on board here, you may be able to help with something that's been bothering me lately.
Just recently, I was listening to "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers which features the immortal lines:
And if I haver yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you
Just what the hell is havering?

That song caused me to look up haver in the dictionary years ago. It said it meant to equivocate.
Aren't you the guy who hit me in the eye?
