I once heard a rather good one to describe a man from Da Ness who was rather well endowed. He was said to have:

 

"A tröll o tots laek a shivel foo o hoe livers"

 

The mental image that expression created made me glad that I was not at the front of the queue when male genitalia were being handed out.. :lol: :lol:

"an erše apo her lek an ill packit bag o oo"

 

A variation of that is:

"Laek an ill taen aboot bag o neeps"

Usually describing a person whose clothes don't exactly fit the shape of their body. In other words, a shapely woman who wears jogging pants :lol: :lol:

Ducking for cover again :lol: :lol: :arrow:
