Scots black-affronted as Weegie and bawbag added to dictionary
More than 40 Scottish slang terms have been added to the Oxford Dictionary during its March update.
Weegies have been left black-affronted as a whole host of Scottish words including bawbag and bampot were added to the Oxford English Dictionary.
So now if some tube tries to say your patter is bowfing then you can tell them to shut their geggie as the slang words are now official.
More than 40 Scots words including; rooked, bidie-in, bigsie, black-affronted, bowfing, coorie, coupon, roaster and grass have been added to the dictionary for its March 2019 update.
Launching the new entries it describes bawbag as a "Scottish variant of the noun ball bag - meaning scrotum".
It says the term, famously used to name a storm in 2011, is used as a "disparaging form of address" to describe "an ignorant, obnoxious, or otherwise detestable person, especially a man".
A bampot is described as a "foolish, annoying, or obnoxious person".
Weegie, a slang term for Glaswegian, is also one of the new entries.
The dictionary claims its first recorded use was in Irvine Welsh's 1993 novel Trainspotting, "in which the Edinburgh characters are not very complimentary about their Glaswegian compatriots".
It describes coupon as being a "slang term for face", bowfing meaning "stinking or smelly", coorie meaning "cuddle", geggie meaning "a persons mouth", hee-haw meaning "nothing", black-affronted meaning "ashamed" and rooked "meaning poor or low on money".
