Part 99 (1/2)

They're a' ae sow's pick

Or all one kind--all bad alike

”They're a bonny pair,” as the craw said o' his feet

”They're a bonny pair,” as the deil said o' his cloots

They're a' gude that gies

They're a' gude that's far awa

They're a' tarr'd wi' ae stick

”'For my part,' said Macwheeble, 'I never wish to see a kilt in the country again, nor a red coat, nor a gun, for that matter, unless it were to shoot a paitrick They're a' tarr'd wi' ae stick'”--_Waverley_

They're aye gude will'd o' their horse that hae nane

”He's free of his fruit that wants an orchard”--_English_

They're as thick as three in a bed

”They're curly and crookit,” as the deil said o' his horns

They're fremit friends that canna be fash'd

That is, they are strange or false friends ill not allow themselves to be troubled in the least about their relations

They're keen o' cohtly harried that hae a' their ain

They're like the grices, if ye kittle their wame they fa' on their backs

Synonylish_

They're no a' saints that get the name o't

They're no to be named in the same day

Or they are so different that there is no room for cos

They're scant o' horseflesh that ride on the dog

They're weel guided that God guides

They rin fast that deils and lasses drive
