The mither tongue

Our daughter has had to compose 10 sentences using Scots words (as homework). I've been having fun, since my mother is a Highlander, I was brought up near Glasgow, and my dad was from London, so dialectically I'm a bit of a mixture.

Lang mae yer lum reek!

Surely these days one's lum should not be reeking or the Environmental Health will be round!
Fou as a puggie is one I like, although perhaps not for primary school homework!
Please work dubs into it somewhere though - I love that word.
