Today is a day to celebrate the father figure in your life but one thing we can all agree on is that there is nobody quite like a dad from Glasgow.
Here are sixteen things you'll only hear if your Dad is a Glaswegian.
1. "I'm away to see a man about a dug."
If he was off to the pub for a couple of pints.
2. "Were you born in a park?"
If you had came in and left the door open.
3. "Go and play in the traffic."
If you were being particularly annoying and he wanted you out of the way.
4. "Ye canny haud whit's no in yer haun'"
After a particularly loud episode of flatulence.
5. "If I don't see ye through the week, I'll see ye through the windae."
When he was saying goodbye.
6. "They're in the pyjamerie/remoterie..."
If you were looking for something and he was trying to be helpful.
7. "Dae you think I came up the Clyde on a watter biscuit?"
If you were chancing your arm.
8. "Sometimes you're the dug and sometimes you're the lamp post."
If you were a bit down on your luck.
9. "Am no sleepin' am just resting ma eyes."
When he was having a kip on the couch after work.
10. "Away an' bile yer heid!"
If you were saying something completely outrageous.
11. "Yer heid is full of wee motors and they've all stopped."
If you were daydreaming, or in a world of your own.
12. "It's like Sauchiehall Street in here!"
If the house was particularly busy.
13. "Ask yer maw."
Dad liked to think he was in charge, but we all know who the real boss is...
14. "Dae you think am made of money?"
If you'd asked him for a cheeky tenner for a night out with your pals.
15. "See when I was your age..."
When he was about to give you a life lesson.
16. "Am no a taxi!"
If you asked him for a lift. He'd still do it, but reserve the right to moan about it for days afterwards.
