I don't want to get you all excited, so I'm stopping at B. In my next post, I'll just give the term. I'd like to see how you lot define it.
Here goes anyway:-
A
Aberdeen – mean, tight-fisted
Aberfoyle – motor oil
Alan Hansen – Dancing
Alan Rough – Guff (total crap)
Armadillo – Pillow (The Scottish Exhibition Centre looks a bit like an armadillo).
B
Bass Rock – ****
Bay City Rollers – Molars
Ben Nevis – Crevice
Berti Vogts – Goats
Billy Bunter – Grunter (another term for a two-bagger)
Boat of Garten – Farting
Boy Scout – Nowt (Nothing/Zip/Nada)
Burke & Hare – Fair (as in just/ equitable)
