Nope, they're forkie-tailies! And woodlice are slaters!

If I used most of these words round my English husband, I'd get either a blank look or a thick ear for winding him up with 'makey-up' words! I have to try and talk properly most of the time.

I know what slaters be! Indeed I am a student in Dundee (how did you guess) I seem to have survived Glasgow with no noticable afflictions, but I only lived there for two years.
