One that is a favourite in the West of Scotland is the old,
"I'll take my hand off the back of your face".
The other West of Scotland one that never fails to make me laugh is the abbreviated version of
"You gave me the fright of my life".... when someone REALLY startles you and your heart misses a beat - we say it sovery quickly, that the words come out as one word ----
"frightmalife". I think only the Scots on here will understand what I mean with that one.
My mum used to come away with a belter:
'yer arse in parsley'. Never did quite get that one, but I actually use it today when someone is talking nonsense!
