Scrotum doesn't quite encompass the whole meaning portrayed by the word bawbag. Only a sassenach could think there's a direct translation :D

Oh, believe me, I understand the nuances ... But if I related them in full I'd have to ban myself from the forum. ;)

I'm wryly amused to think of all the rest of the world using the word and thinking it's a place in Scotland..:)

In Summary- you're in for a chibbin if you steal my Kentucky Fried Chibbin

The main difference is a chib usually only scars you for life, whereas KF chibbin will eventually kill you.;)

It's probably a cultural thing but it was more likely to be a ned who thought that up.
