‘S’ 7 of 7
Sudden quick tempered,‘she's kind but sudden like’
Suggans straw or hay ropes
Sup quantity, ‘he had a brave sup o’ drink taken’
Sup sorra grieve, repent; ‘he’ll sup sorra afore long, min’ my words’
Swally also ‘swalla’, swallow; ‘Ye’ll have a wee swally?’
Sweet insincere, ‘too sweet to be wholesome’
Sweeten encourage; ‘Sweeten him up before ye ask him.’
Swirl blast; ‘givvus a wee swirl of the ullan pipes’.
Swinge singe
Swither doubt
Switcher oath, exclamation, ‘he let a switcher out of him’
Swop exchange
