Jock's a mislear'd imp, but ye're a rum deil
Jock may be mischievous, but he's well behaved by your standards
The fish that sooms in a dub will aye taste o' mud
You can never change your upbringing
When ye can suit yer shanks to my shoon, ye may speak
Don't speak about me until you've been in a similar situation yourself
