13 Scottish Phrases And What They Mean

9. "I'm Going Tae Skelp/Belt Yer Wee Behind!"

Translation: I'm Going To Smack Your Bottom Whilst your generation probably got threatened and hit with your grandfather and father's belts, you were used to hearing about how your bum was going to be skelped. But long gone are the days where you can smack your children's bottoms when they're being so unbelievably naughty as you need to use only loving and calming words. This can also be used in the bedroom for adult sleepovers, whatever you're into; there are no judgements here.
