Has anybody ever heard the expression ''Trawillit'', or ''Trawillied'' (Spelling unsure)?

Meaning an awkward person..like me...

Maybe, yet again, this is just a Ness expression, so Ghostrider may have some input on this.

 

Possible Norsk source could be from ''Trollete'', meaning 'acting like a troll (trowie)

 

No but I have heard of Auld Rasmie :!:

 

Meaning an awkward person :lol:
