Bowfin'...

Bowfin' (bow-fing) adj, scots: Unpalatable. Not to ones taste.

Noo there's a word that should be aired mare oaf'en. It's wan o' ma favourite scots dialect words alang wi' ##'maukit' an' **'oxtir'. Ah used tae write aw ma correspondence in scots dialect. E-mails, letters, website updates, the lot. It goat tae such a point that a' can just aboot type as fast this way as standard english. Ah think it aw began efter readin' Trainspottin' which is written in a similar manner.

Bowfin' came tae mind because ah heard it of aw places, oan Radio4's News Quiz.

## Maukit (maw-kit) adj, scots: Being in a temporary state in which one's physical and mental faculties are impaired by an excess of alcoholic drink. Drunk.
** Oxtir (Ox-tir) noun, scots: The hollow under the arm at the shoulder. Armpit.
