An inventor showing an RSPCA (Royal Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) inspector the dog feeding mechanism he has built in action. A dog is running on a treadmill which is causing some weights to lift, which when they drop, powers a complex set of gears which release the dog, including dog food and carrots which are diced as they slide into the bowl which has already been washed by the mechanism.
The Scottish Word:

Whigmaleerie.

I’ve built AI intae the whigmaleerie bit ye see at the back which yokes the pooer o the dug on the treadmill tae lift some wechts.

An when they drap at a given point it aw whirls at a pace, washes the dug’s bowlie, releases and chops the feed as it slides doon tae the dug, it’s verra guid, an works maist o the time.

Sadly if the dug’s too big it’s mince but the AI is verra guid hearted and is verra verra sorry iviry time.

Translate:

Whigmaleerie: a decorative or fanciful object, a fantastic contrivance or contraption.

I’ve built AI into the contraption you see at the back which harnesses the power of the dog on the treadmill to lift some weights.

And when they drop at a given point it all whirls at a pace, stops the treadmill, washes the dog’s bowl, releases and chops the feed as it slides down to the dog, it’s very good, and works most of the time.

Sadly if the dog’s too big it’s done for but the AI is very good hearted and is very very sorry every time.
