How many of these do you recognise?
5. Mony a mickle maks a muckle
This phrase, suggested by Margaret Garvie, is similar to the expression 'take care of the pennies and the pounds take care of themselves'. A mickle is a small amount, while a muckle is a large quantity, so if you focus on gathering the mickles, you'll soon have a muckle. | AFP via Getty Images Photo: Leon Neal
6. Awa and cuddle yer humph
This saying, suggested by Donald Lewis, is a colourful but usually lighthearted way of telling someone to get lost | Getty Images Photo: George Marks/Retrofile
7. You’re lookin’ peely wally
This isn't a phrase you want to hear, as it means you're looking pale and sickly. It was suggested by Gillian Stewart. | Getty Images Photo: Picture Post/Hulton Archive
8. No like that, yah Dunderheid
Another phrase you don't want directed at you. A dunderheid is a fool or idiot, though it's a relatively inoffensive term. This saying was suggested by Daniel Nicolson. | Getty Images Photo: Larry Ellis Collection
