Things in Scots #3: Wheesht

Welcome to day three of Things in Scots!?a fun collaboration with my husband, Jez.

Today?s word is another of my favorites: Wheesht.

Wheesht means shhh, be quiet, shut up. It?s also used to quieten/silence groups of people?normally weans (kids).

The reason it?s one of my favorites is how it?s normally used in a sentence:

Haud yer wheesht!

(In Inglis) Shut up!/Hold your tongue!

Thenks fur stoapin by, and hae a wunnerfu day. (Mind an gie Jez?s post a keek.)

Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful day. (Remember to check out Jez?s post.)
