Word of the Week

miss:
To miss yourself is not to somehow become aware of the absence of your body, but to fail to experience something enjoyable through not being in the right place at the right time:
“Ye missed yersel no comin on Saturday…it wis a right good night.”
If you are angry with someone and are telling a third party exactly what you will do when you catch the offender, you might say Ah’ll no miss him or, in its fuller form, Ah’ll no miss him an’ hit the wa’.
