Slightly off-topic (since I don't suppose they feature in dance
refreshments) but another Scottish word that intrigues me is "supper"
to mean "and chips", as in "fish supper" or "haggis supper".  I'm not
sure if you can ask for "a supper" if you want only chips or if you
can order them at lunchtime.
