I heard a menk ate your Amazon driver on purpose!!!

The menk was probably a cotton trader.

The menk was probably a cotton trader.

Still a few unanswered questions, though. For example, why they'd driven all that way in the first place, why they abandoned the car when it all apparently needed was a good push, and why they ignored the man who was crying for help. Unless his cries from the darkness is what spooked them into fleeing into the wilderness! Although, I've also seen claims that the guy who needed help was a bit of a charlatan and prone to telling tales or that he was hallucinating from his heart attack, so maybe he's a complete red herring.

In Glasgow the word "diddy" has a very specific meaning.

And yes Ms D, I'm sure that you have been called many things, but I'm confident that"diddy" was never one of them.

Indeed, Barn!

I'm usually called far worse!

Ha!

I'm not sure of it's origins, but it's used to describe someone who's a bit of an idìot!

ie "whit ya dae that for, ya wee diddy?!"

Don't worry, Abby!

In Glasgow terms it's a pretty low level insult.

This is the place where the c word can be used as a term of affection after all!

Perhaps it’s down to the similar sound ‘diddy’ - ‘iddy-ot?’

[Ms Diddles]

Could be!

As a native Glasweigan, perhaps Barn can enlighten us?

Don't worry Abby, I am sure no one thought that you were using it disparagingly.
