weirdest one I came across is 'oxster' ... means armpit

'piece' means sandwich, and a 'ginger' is a soft drink

I like 'glaikit' (no idea how you spell that) ... it's basically a verb to be a daydreamy, dozy f*ck

"oxter". It's a common word in Shetland (island to the north of Scotland), less so on the mainland.

Piece can also mean small cake, scone, or similar.
