    On this topic - was at Killie away last year and two lads in the Hibs end were having a right go at one another.

    One was calling the other a bowtay (?) - what is that?

    The excellent Geordie ale 'Radgie Gadgie' deserves a mention on this thread. Both words are also derived from Romany,which has its roots in various Hindi dialects and languages.

    The same (chourer - to steal) word is used in French slang - it's definitely Romany in origine.

    Did Irvine Welsh not write about hiries? Never used it but always took it to mean cash

    Indeed, the roots are Indian.
    Had me thinking.
    Over 30 yr ago i was working in Northampton.
    My wifes brother and me were in a boozer called the King Billy (naw,no that one !

    Group at the next table after we sat down proceeded to converse in the Cant.

    I started to laugh a wee bit.
    I understood near every word.
    (bar a bit of accent/dialect)
    Eventually got chatting and my brother in law later on sold them a caravan that was used on the building site he was the gaffer on.
    They were travellers,of course.

    I translated the negotiation.
    Barry deal.

    Mort is a good one, deek is another.
    Its amazing how many of these words are in use, but few probably recognise where they come from.

    My favourite Edinburgh book, from which I took my user name, is full of Romany derived words which were taken into slang.

    It can be read here - it's an enjoyable romp and the report of his trial in the Scotsman is a hoot if you can find it . George Borrow refers to him in Lavengro - his Romany novel, though Haggart himself Ii don't think was of Romany extraction. I have an 1821 copy of the book which also has a phrenologist report which he allowed to happen while he awaited execution.

    https://archive.org/details/b24930052/page/56

    https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Haggart,_David_(DNB00)

    There's a glossary at the end full of the slang of the day

    https://archive.org/details/b24930052/page/172

    It includes words like 'kipping' for playing truant which we still used at porty school in the 60s/ 70s



    ...anyway Shan is out of the X Factor which just shows how crap the show is

    Might have been Bow-Tow, as in one who hails from Newhaven.
