And ye're all a boonch o' bluidy Sassanachs, the lot of ye! It's Scots
Gaelic -- not the degenerate twaddle of Ireland -- and it means "never did a
man die without someone being grateful". Of course, the Highlanders are
specialists in this and give quantity discount for slaughter, robbery,
rapine, and sheep debaucheries. (Q: Why do Highlanders wear kilts? A:
Zippers scare the sheep.)
