Para Handy Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
