13 Scottish Phrases And What They Mean

4. "Gie It Laldy"

Translation: Go For It Just give it everything that you've got. This is a phrase of endearment and support and it's something that everyone shouts to the television whenever Andy Murray is playing his little heart out on the tennis court. "Gie it laldy, Andy!"
