I'm running the AC. I've got an especially pungent set of words for you. I've got a whole winter to pick on you'z guys. You can come on down to visit but the spare bed isn't long enough. |

They went out of fashion as they are all way too long to text.

I'm a bit surprised that I've only come across two--nipperkin and unchancy--though slochet reminds me of slockit, a Shetland term for a light that has gone out. It's in the title of the Tom Anderson air, "The Slockit Light," which is one of the loveliest tunes I know.
I first heard it on a David Surette album. Gorgeous.

I've heard my Scottish brother-in-law use numbers 17 and 24. But then again I hear he was quite the aptycock in his day.

My favorite old English quote is from "The Art and Times of the Guitar." In the 1300's, John Wycliffe, the English church reformer sternly denounced the sinners who used "veyn songis and knackynge and harpynge, gyternynge and daunsynge, and othere veyn triflis to geten the stynkyng love of damyselis." (page 67)  |

That is lovely (the song, not Russell  ) But you know there's something I notice about Irish fiddle playing like this; it has so many punctuations and frills that sometimes it reminds me of Beyonce singing the National Anthem. |

I have never used any of these terms, colourful as they are. 'Tis late in the evening and perhaps a nipperkin is in order.
Lovely Shetlandish tune -- Mr. Fraser and Ms. Haas marry the ranges of their instruments quite nicely.
