Ulysses Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 'Heid the baw' to describe a none too bright person. "Head the ball" exists here as well, sometimes also expressed as "header" or even "complete ****ing header". However, it doesn't exactly mean "none too bright". Its closest Scottish equivalent is probably "radge". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjack Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Living up in Lewis , I very rarely hear any scots words. Imagine my surprise when some gadgie frae pilton turns up to help design the upgrade getting done at the place. All of a sudden , none of the teuchters can understand me when I speak to said gadgie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it doesn't exactly mean "none too bright". Its closest Scottish equivalent is probably "radge". You may well be right but I thought the term came from a time when football was played with big heavy leather balls and those who went in for headers a lot would end up being a bit 'punch-drunk' as it were or minus some brain cells. Your description sounds like 'heidie' which is similar to 'radge'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I got told as well, along with that it can mean the contrary to the Perth definition. It pretty much dropped completely out of my vocabulary after a couple of months of living in Edinburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
