A Doric A-Z: H revisited; again.

An occasional A-Z of the Doric, the dialect spoken in the North-East of Scotland which is rich in words and phrases associated with the land and the sea. 


Today's offering is: HOCHMAGANDIE: Fornication, sexual intercourse for the purposes of recreation rather than procreation, rumpy-pumpy, jiggery-pokery etc.

This was the scene on the Foveran Burn this morning. Spring is springing and the Mallard ducks' thoughts will soon to hochmagandie, much to the alarm of the shy, sensitive drakes. I might just have got that the wrong way around!

Meanwhile they are all snoozing and gathering strength before the games begin.
