And "the moarn's moarn" is "tomorrow morning".  In Glasgow, I believe
"tomorrow" is the "morra" (one might question this "morra" to be a slang
English rather than Scots).  Living in the States on comes across more
Gleswegian Scots. When, my mother suddenly changed from saying "the moarn"
tae uisein' "the morra".  I jokingly said don't ye change ma mither's tongue.
 And who have ye been paling aboot wi'?
