Two girls explaining to a discombobulated boy the rules of the game that they are playing with a big dog. In Scots: We’re hae’n a competition tae see hoo lang we can streek the dugs slaver frae its mou afore it braks. The langest distance oot o ten tries or tae when the dug gangs hame is the winner. Nae measurin via the droop, it’s gotta be a straicht measure. We’ve been feedin it brussels sproots. Translate: lang: long. In English: We’re having a competition to see how long we can stretch the dogs slobber from its mouth before it breaks. The longest distance out of ten tries or to when the dog goes home is the winner. No measuring via the droop, it’s gotta be a straight measure. We’ve been feeding it brussels sprouts.
