Chantie is a kin o slang term for a chamber pot. A'm no richt shuir
Scots wad uise 'pish pat' tho in context it wad be unnerstuid.

a chantiewrassler is a shifty unscrupulous character, a 'smart alec'.

Sairy, Andy.  A forgat.  A jalouse ye exponed this afore.  (Och, the noddle
o this bauchle!)  It soonds a bit like a ludge or a bothy tho.  A jalouse it
cam
frae "chaumer pattie."

> a chantiewrassler is a shifty unscrupulous character, a 'smart alec'.

A cliver wird!  Naetheless, 'unscrupulous character' an 'smart alec' are twa
fair
unalike kyns o cadgers in ma kennin.  Aiblins no in Scottish English?
