DePooperit 2 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 "an erše apo her lek an ill packit bag o oo" you know me then! 'Boy du is spaekin da very aesence o slester!' I have heard that one as "Aeshins of slester" and was told that the aeshins were the top of the byre wall where the roof meets it, and in winter the cow manure would be thrown against the byre wall until it reached the aeshins?????? Hit's possible. 'Aeshins' is English 'eaves', mair or less, an da muck in a byre certainly did gaeng up dat far - mony a time I'm muckit it oot! I'm ey tocht, toh, at 'aeshins' in dis context wis English 'essence'. Stories laek yun micht be true, or dey micht be med up efterhaand. I'm no sure I can see whit wye you wid spaek aboot da 'aeshins o sh*te', wi 'aeshins' meanin 'eaves', redder as juist sayin 'sh*te', bit da 'essence' meanin wid mak mair sense. Dunna kaen, toh. Duis ony idder body say 'Aeshins o bruck' or im I med dat up mesel? (Aaargh! Da censorbot turned aa my 'sh*tes' inta 'sharn', so I'm hed ta pit a asterisk ithin dem - I see noo whit wye you aa spell 'slester'.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crofter 52 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 "Dey'll be lookin up i da norwast fur wis noo" Meaning "wir late". I'm guessing this comes from watching for boats coming back ashore from the fishing. Also "Da sun is ower far wast fur dat noo" meaning "I'm ower auld". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
