Um, almost the entire Scots Wikipedia was written by someone with no idea of the language – 10,000s of articles

Weegies

I followed the establishment of this word. It was a 1980s derogatory Fife word for Glaswegians who would holiday there, mostly spelt WeeGee or Ouijie. Wee Glaswegian. "How do you make a Ouijie board? Take away his Tamazapan"

Only Glaswegians spell it weegie, because that is how daft they are.

Another good Fife word is nectar, an amplifier of extra, as in nectar special (the most special).

I once had a stramash with the self styled "Glasgow Anarcho-Feminist collective", because they were a' ba'heids but partly due to their name. None of them were Glaswegian, two of them were police informers, and one of them strangled young women.
