just a question

[homer]

hi all,

 

now please dont think im thick but i need someone to explain something thats been a bit of a mystery to me for some time.

 

 

the word "DOOS"  !

now i know it obviously means pigeons and i get the impression its a scottish slang word (though i may be wrong) but what are the origins of the word and its relation to pigeons ???

 

 

 

for the life of me i cant see how you can get to DOO from pigeon......please enlighten me folks,

 

cheers.

p.s  i bet there are one or two other members on the site that have wondered the same thing ?

Quite surprised on the spelling of the hut wot they bide in, always called it 'dookit' [what probably comes from dovecote] but see the scots dictionary says its 'doocot', 'doocat' or 'ducat' depending on what century you lived in.  

 

But the most topical must be 'flee the blue doo'  ;D  ;D  ;D early 20th Century  ;D  ;D  ;D send out a messenger surreptitiously for whisky  ;D  ;D  ;D modern translation "wuman, get yer ass doon tae Asda fur a boattle o' Bells!       :K)  :K)
