MUMS are class.
They raise you, feed you, clothe you, and care for you.
While all mothers are brilliant, we're sure you'd agree there's nothing quite like a maw fae Glasgow.
That's why on Mother's Day we've brought together some of the expressions you'll only know if you were born and bred in the city.
Here are 21 things you heard your mum say if she was from Glasgow
1. "It's like Blackpool Illuminations in here" - when you leave the big light on.
2. You'd fall into the Clyde and come oot wi a salmon
3. "You'd get a piece at embdy's door." - when you turned on the charm.
4. "Haud your wheesht!" - when you won't shut up.
5. "One day the wind will change and yer face'll stay like that." - whenever you frowned.
6. "What did yer last slave die of?" - when you asked your mum for a favour.
7. "Ah've got eyes in the back o' ma heid!" - when you're up to no good.
8. "Do you think ah button up the back?" - when you were telling a fib.
9. "Beggars cannae be choosers." - when you weren't happy about dinner.
10. "You've got a face only a mither could love!" - when she was teasing you (we hope).
11. "Yer a wee chancer!" - when you were being cheeky.
12. "Stop greetin or I'll gie ye somethin tae greet aboot!" - when you were upset.
13. "Away an gie's peace." - when she needed a break.
14. "Who's she? The cat's mother?" - when you referred to your mum as 'she'.
15. "Skinny malinky long legs" - when you finally started to grow.
16. "If you eat yer crusts, yer hair'll go curly!" - when you left food on your plate.
18. "Yer talkin' mince" - when you were talking mince.
19. "Do you think I'm daft?" - see above.
20. "Speak o' the devil" - when you came in as she was talking about you.
21. Get to bed or Wee Willy Winkie will get ye! - when you wouldn't go to sleep.
