Teuchter

Originally meaing someone from the Highlands of Scotland, the word has become bastardised over the years with the definition becoming more and more loose.

An actual teuchter: someone from the Highlands
A teuchter in Aberdeen: someone from the countryside
A teuchter in Dundee: someone from Aberdeen
A teuchter in Edinburgh: someone from the north
A teuchter in Glasgow: someone from literally anywhere other than Glasgow

"I'm from Edinburgh"

Weegie: "haaawwww yer a teuchter man!"

Yer da sells the Avon

Scottish insult: "Your father is a representative of the Avon company"

The peak, the maximum, the be-all and end-all of humiliation. The ultimate insult of one's self, one's family and one's dignity. Consider all hope lost in your life if this is said to you. Use sparingly against enemies.

"Yer a tit"

"Fuck off pal, yer da sells the Avon"

*kills self*

Riddy Culture

Scottish phenomenon: Fear of being judged for doing anything outlandish, expressive, unorthodox or outwith social norms. Also refers to said judgement. Can be applied to very innocuous scenarios.

I was going to start a Megan Thee Stallion stan account on Twitter, alas riddy culture made me too embarrassed

I was walking out of B&Q carrying a bright yellow toolbox and in act of pure riddy culture someone shouted at me "that you Bob the Builder now aye?"`

Yer maw punts coonsil

Scottish insult: "your mother is a drug dealer"

Counterpart to "yer da sells avon". Often used in verbal attacks, can also be used in retaliation to previous insult.

Yer = your
Maw = mother
Punt = sell/offload
Coonsil = council; cheap, very low quality drugs (usually cocaine) typically prepared in someone's kitchen/basement
