Something for the North East Fifers...

Doss.

Doss = Tekel, same thing. Doss Towers doesn't have the same ring to it though!

Spot on Sir.

I used that specific spelling to fit round my Username.I'll leave you Dundonian chaps to argue what is the correct spelling of the word.

I'm a tattie picker (Fifer), so excuse the ignorance for my spelling faux pas.

Spelling nazi's!

correct... Adopted by the spectacled one, then spread throughout the city as if our own... I'm 100% convinced that's where teckle originated here...talking about 82-3

Another great Dundee word came fae about the mid 80s was 'dingys'.. As in good ain...

started fae a few fae the hulltoon and kirkton branch of town centre scallywags who'd say 'rubber ear' to anything they didn't agree with or didn't want to hear..that morphed into 'rubberee' or 'rubber dingys'... Then just dingys

Eh wid recommend St Andrew and the Woollen Mill lyrics or Mike McCluskey's book Who Wants to be a Dundonian.

Ran Dan.

As in 'that's her away oot on the Ran Dan again the night'.

*The Lady is away out to socialise with friends*

'bowfin' as in this does not taste very nice at all. It can also be applied to smells as well; as in "Huntedbyafreak just farted in the Balmore and it smells pure bowfin."
