"Spoken to them that expect such a place, station, or condition which we think above their birth."—Kelly.
Ye was put out o' the oven for nipping the pies.
With the same meaning, we once heard a vulgar little boy say to another, that he was "Put out of the workhouse for eating the number off his plate!"
Ye was sae hungry ye couldna stay the grace.
Ye watna what's behint your hand.
Ye watna what wife's ladle may cog your kail.
Ye watna where a blessing may light.
Ye winna craw trade.
That is, you will never admit that trade is good.
Ye winna put out the fire wi' tow.
