Discovered an excellent new word today: dreich. Bleak, miserable, cheerless, dreary. It even sounds exactly right when you say. No this is not a comment on my current state of mind. Not at all.
@ElleGray A fine Scottish word; most often used in reference to the weather - not raining, but drizzling, overcast, neither one thing or the other; driech.
Next on the Scottish word list, if I may present: “outwith”: outside of, excepting. “Outwith these circumstances, this is what we need to do”
