Scottish Elocution lessons

Just received a message from my Rangers supporting cousin, I understand the sentiment of it and have seen the slang mentioned on here before.

The word in question is walloper as in "Nicky Law is a walloper and a fecking sheitbag"

Is it pronounced

wah-lo-per

wall-o-per

whall-o-per


Just curious to fully appreciate and understand the permarage eminating out of a house in the Scottish borders.

It's definitely the first option

I concur with Mags, I enjoy walloper but I have adopted "Warmer" from here, that and Dennis's "Mouth breather"

Steady on Piff, I'm not one to judge what your preferences are in the bedroom but don't you think you're giving away too much information.

Warmer was mine...I'm claiming it. I got it of a guy called tommy graham who used to run a music shop in Hamilton back in the day. Everyone was a warmer. To avoid doubt..it's pronounced wahr-mur

Magnum, how long ago is "back in the day"? I remember Warmer being used a lot 30 years ago when I was at College.
