Welcome to day eighteen of Things in Scots!?a fun collaboration with my husband, Jez (Mind an gie Jez?s post a keek.)
Today?s post is short and sweet, but our Scots word is anything but. (I know, I know, ending a sentence on a preposition is bad. It?s allowed when it?s a stylistic choice. ?)
Today?s Things in Scots is: Carnaptious.
Carnaptious (also curnaptious, carnapshus) means irritable, quarrelsome, bad-tempered.
Here?s an example of carnaptious in use:
He?s a carnaptious wee nyaff.
In Inglis: He?s a bad-tempered, small, worthless person.
If you want to ken the Scots for anything, just ask in the comments section.
Thenks fur stoapin by, and hae a wunnerfu day.
