Ye're an honest man, and I'm your uncle—that's twa big lees.
Ye're a' out o't and into strae.
That is, you are quite mistaken about the matter.
Ye're a queer fish no to hae fins.
Ye're as braw as Bink's wife,—like the sun on shairney water.
Ye're as daft as ye're days auld.
Ye're as fu' o' maggots as the bride o' Preston, wha stopt half way as she gaed to the kirk.
"We have not been able to learn who the bride o' Preston really was; but we have frequently heard the saying applied to young women, who are capricious and changeable.
"'The bride took a maggot, it was but a maggot,
She wadna gang by the West Mains to be married.'"
—G. Henderson.
