    No, loon's a sweaty isn't he. I consider sweaty to be slang, not an insult.

    Most of these are probably normal words spoken with an impenetrable Scottish accent. But it is hard to tell.

    Clipe is more of an accusation than an insult, no?
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    No idea. Never seen it written down before. I thought it was a verb. Hard to tell, because the Glaswegian language doesn't include much grammar.

    I thought it comes in similar to "grass".

    Clipe is not only Glaswegian, at least used in NE Scotland as well when I wis jist a loon. Verb and noun: to clipe is e.g. to tell teacher, to grass etc. Hence 'yer jist a wee clipe' was / is used as a derogatory term.

    Edit to add: I was a student in Embra then lived in W Scotland for several years.

    Bampot or bam, as in radge bam, probably Edinburgh
    Div I remember being used in Glasgow area.

    I think div is pretty universal, certainly got used in SW London when I was a lad
  • I still use it.

    I'd forgotten that one. Not heard it since school. In fact I thought it was particular to the school I went to. It was the nickname of a maths teacher, because he somewhat resembled the hippy rabbit from The Magic Roundabout, Dylan.
