Scots are famous for having their own weird and quirky colloquial phrases and saying that pop up in everyday life and perplex visitors to the country.
For some this can be frustrating but for one man from Australia, who has been living here for five months, it has been a charming experience to learn words or sayings that he can bring back home.
Marc Murphy created a hilarious TikTok about a selection of Scottish turns of phrase that he identified with as an Aussie.

The clip has already managed to accumulate a whopping 71.9K views and continues to rise, and the comment section is full of Scots thanking Marc for raising awareness of our unique vocabulary, the Daily Record reports.
Starting off the short clip, Marc said: "Okay I've lived in Scotland for about five months now and here are some of my favourite sayings that just make so much sense to an Aussie."
He began with his favourite one, which is something that many of us have probably experienced from time to time.
Marc explained: "When people here are hungover, and they worry that they did something bad the night before, they say "I've got the fear." And at first I didn't really understand. I was like, fear of what? What are you afraid of? But now it just makes so much sense."
He said that in Australia, people might use the word "hangxiety", but it apparently doesn't capture the true feeling quite like "the fear" does.
Marc then described what he thinks is the "cutest" expression, saying: "It usually happens in shops, when you say sorry for something and someone says "don't be daft".
"It just makes you feel so much better."
He admitted: "I feel like if you were in Australia, if you were to say "don't be stupid", it would be a bit harsh. But here, it touches your soul. I love it."
In the comments, other Scots were keen to teach Marc some other phrases that he could start using in his vocabulary and even take back home to his Aussie friends.
One person said: "A good one is when you're hungover people say... I'm aff it! But don't mean it, it means I'm so hungover I'm never drinking again."
Another commented: "STOP I moved from England to Glasgow and the fear is the best phrase I've ever experienced."
And a third joked: "The way you explained the fear hahaha YES this is the best we are all forever feared up."
