Ye hae tied a knot wi' your tongue you winna loose wi' your teeth.
Ye hae tint the tongue o' the trump.
"That is, you have lost the main thing."—Kelly.
Ye hae tint yer ain stamach an' found a tyke's.
Applied to those who, when very hungry, eat a great deal.
Ye hae wrought a yoken and loosed in time.
You have wrought a day's work in proper time.
Ye ken naething but milk and bread when it's mool'd into ye.
Or you know or care about nothing but your meat.
Ye kenna what may cool your kail yet.
