Hey beautiful Plonkers.....today's Scottish word is : "Humph"
Pronounced: hum-f
Definition: v.
the act of carrying something heavy or a heavy burden.
Usage: “Yer punishment and yer curse for dissin yer betters is tae humph yer in-law an her dug up iviry Corbett in the land. An think yersel lucky I dinnie mak it Munros anaw.
Translation : I do not believe for a second
weightlifting is a sport. They pick up a heavy thing and put it down
again. To me, that's indecision.
And the gorgeous wee place in Scotland that I'm featuring is Hoy. Hoy is an island in Orkney, Scotland. With an area of 143 square kilometres it is the second largest in the archipelago after the Mainland. It is connected by a causeway called The Ayre to South Walls.
Hoy, Scotland
Quaint wee Hoy, hoi up in the Scottish Highlands. (Did I hear you groan?)
Hoy sounds just amazing Lass, I would love to visit there sometime! Great post, I tend to make that noise when I'm in a bad mood and not wanting to talk although I probably grunt like that a lot when I'm at gym haha, not going to lie!

Loved that translation. Good one. :)
Oooh, I didn't know it was a verb...so many more possibilities!
Great word...and I'm gonna find a way to work it into conversation today.
That's an awesome background in the picture!
We so wanted to visit the isles when we were in Scotland, but Inverness was as far north as we ventured.
Very funny! Hoy looks like a lovely place to go if I ever manage to get to Scotland.
Loved him, he was funny. Plus I love his accent.
