Blether - Scots

Blether and blather are Old Norse in origin. They are connected with the Old Norse word blathra meaning nonsense or to speak indistinctly or inarticulately. An alternative form of blather is blither, most commonly found as blithering, as in a blithering idiot.

Blether has brought to us a word which, to me, is rather unattractive, but then it has rather an unattractive meaning. The word is bletherskite, with the alternative forms bletherinskite, bletheranskite and bletherumskite, and it is an insulting term used to refer to a person who talks a lot of nonsense.

The origin of the skite element is uncertain, although it has been suggested that this is derived from skate the fish. Apparently skate was once used as an insult and, certainly we still have the non-flattering term cheapskate.

I see, so you have nothing to proffer but some vague reference to some clan members who are also nameless. Do you know what thats called Randers? More bull than a herd of Texan longhorns. Where is your evidence Randolph? Cite one clan member of any clan who has called me a sandbagger.

Each of them considers you a cheat, a fraud, a swindler and a sandbagger. Can you grasp that?.

Ok we shall try again, where is your evidence that any of them have termed me a sandbagger, you have so far failed to produce a single iota despite being asked more than three times, why is it Randolph, did you make it up? Is that why its difficult for you to produce it? what does that make you Randolph, a fraud, a liar, a charlatan, a boofhead, a windbag, someone that believes their own propaganda? someone that cannot substantiate the claims they make? Man its not going to end well for you Randolph.

Do you agree that they consider you a cheat and a fraud?

I have no idea what they think, where have they termed me a sandbagger Randolph, you said it, make with the evidence or retract the assertion and issue an apology.

Let's try again:

Are you aware that they consider you a cheat and a fraud?

Are you aware that they believe you are abusing clan practices and rigging clan matches to your advantage?
