in central Scotland a poke is a paper bag
in northern ireland it means an ice cream
in newcastle it has sexual connotations
on the paper bag subject my o/h when he goes into a different shop if the assistant asks do you want a bag for that his reply is always

In Ireland (Donegal here in North...not politically but Geographically, you know what I mean!) there is a strong Ulster Scots lingo. Some of the words are:

Farnence = beside
Sheugh = Drain or ditch
Sheigh= hay stack
A merch deich = boundary hedge
"The moss" = Bogland
A pirty spinner = potato harvester
A wachlin = A useless person
A Hallion = A rough or argumentative person
Hold your whist = be quiet
