Scottish slang is an entirely different language to the rest of the UK; between the broad accents and regional variations in which they speak, as well as words carried over from Gaelic and languages of old, it’s almost as if they don’t want to be understood at all in some areas.

Many of the words most commonly used in modern Scotland are borrowed from Scots, a 600-year-old language with Germanic origins. Around 60,000 people still speak Gaelic, but only a seldom few words have made it into daily Scottish usage. Some words are easy to understand, being more to do with pronunciation than anything else, but there are some words that I never would have guessed the meaning of.

One of those words is bahookie which means a person’s bottom. Example: "Sit down on your bahookie and behave!"
