Part 66 (1/2)

Kings are kittle cattle to shoe behint

”'Kittill to scho behind,' not to be depended on; not worthy of trust”--_Jas

For a greater part of the inco's cauff's worth ither folk's corn

”'I aher office, for your lordshi+p's sake and fora friendly lad; yet your lordshi+p 's most royal kitchen may be called a scullion--'s cauff, as I said before, is better than ----'”--_Fortunes of Nigel_

Kings hae lang hands

Kiss and be kind, the fiddler is blind

Kiss a sklate stane, and that winna slaver you

”'Ah! bonny lass,' says he, 'ye'll gies a kiss, An' I sall set ye richt on, hit or et, but help o' you, Kiss ye sklate-stanes, they winna weet your in he ween'd wi' speed to tak her in, But as luck was, a knibblich took his tae, An' o'er fa's he, an' tuaes by favour

Kissing is cried down since the shaking o' hands

Kelly says (1721), ”There is a proclamation that nobody should kiss hereafter, but only shake hands” Spoken by a wo to allow it

Kiss my foot, there's mair flesh on't

A sharp reply to those who obsequiously ask permission to kiss the hand

Kiss ye me till I be white, an' that will be an ill web to bleach

Knock a carle, and ding a carle, and that's the way to win a carle; kiss a carle, and clap a carle, and that's the way to tine a carle

”Both these are joined together, and signify that people ofare rather to be won by harsh treatment than civil”--_Kelly_
