washingtonpost.com: For an Outsider, Culture Shock -- of the Most Positive Kind For those readers unfamiliar with the niceties of Scottish dialect, the word "teuchter" (pronounced chookter) refers somewhat disparagingly to inhabitants of the north of my country. Although my dress and hobbies are considerably less spectacular, the description "teuchter in Washington" -- roughly translated as: "Naïve northern Scottish person arrives in American capital speaking with slightly indecipherable accent" -- is a fairly apt description of my experience in your city. I can honestly say, and perhaps this is the "teuchter" speaking, that I experienced nothing that could back this up. www.washingtonpost.com /ac2/wp-dyn/A15883-2003Nov26?language=printer   (1052 words)

- The Portree Kid   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16) A teuchter, however, is the name given to people from the Western Isles (Lewis, Skye etc.). It may be more localised than the whole of the Western Isles, I'm nae sure, but that's where it originates, and that's what it refers to. Teuchter, though, is also a label given (incorrectly) to us broad spoken country folk of the north-east by bliddy toonsers and the white-settlers (nae offence to the toonsers and settlers!!). wc1.worldcrossing.com /WebX?230@541.ERf2jXp5hNj@.eebdc4a   (359 words)

Although he describes himself as a "teuchter" from the countryside he was the most elegant of defenders, quite unsuited to the rough and tumble of an invariably agricultural promotion scramble. However, his testimony should be heeded by those players who this weekend step into the latest round of what is proving a ferocious relegation battle. sport.scotsman.com /topics.cfm?tid=144&id=462342005   (1053 words)

There can be only one term for Highlanders - [Sunday Herald] Lately, however, I have been irritated, moving on to being downright scunnered, by his persistent use of the term “teuchter” whenever some aspect of Highland life swims into his fastidious Central Belt gaze. His uneasiness with things Highland was further made obvious when he quoted the Gaelic title of Aonghas Padraig Caimbeul’s work (Diary, August 21) and added the dismissive, “don’t ask”. For Mr Taylor’s information, were he to confront me and refer to me as “teuchter” he would run the risk of, at least, a sharp rejoinder, at worst a good slap. www.sundayherald.com /51448   (1658 words)

Abstracts for Individual Presentations Though Scottish inter-regional humor concerning highlanders and Gaelic speakers does exist, teuchters are overshadowed by the residents of Aberdeen, typified as exceedingly canny and thrifty, also overly intimate with sheep. The principal numskulls in Scottish humor are not teuchters but the Irish. It is noteworthy that the Irish tell these same jokes about Kerrymen, just as American jokes about hillbillies become West Virginia jokes in Southern Appalachia. afsnet.org /annualmeet/1999/absind.htm   (5503 words)
