Is He A Grumpy Old Man?
Or Just A Crabbit Auld Scot?
A Grumpy Old Man? We're sure you must know one, and this has to be the classic Scottish gift for them.
An amusing gift that pokes a fun elbow in the ribs. This mug features an outline map of Scotland in the centre
with the "Grumpy" and "Crabbit" text on either side of the map. Of course, don't forget that it's not only old men that can be grumpy, we have Grumpy Old Women as well, and we do the same designs for them too, just so
you don't feel left out!! We can also do these for more specific areas of Scotland such as the illustrated ones below:
As you can see, the Crabbit Auld Fifer mug has an outline map of Fife instead of Scotland, and the text is
centred within the Fife map. You can also order these mugs with a specified town on them: any Fife town shall
have the Fife map on it, and any other Scottish town (such as, say, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Ayr etc) shall have
the Scotland outline map on them, and you can specify any town at all, no matter how small it may be.
And let's not forget our Sassenach friends:
We have a design for them as well. And in case you think the term Sassenach could offend,
here's a dictionary listing for it:
Sassenach: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sassenach is a word used chiefly by the Scots to designate an Englishman.[1] It derives from the
Gaelic Sasunnach meaning, originally, "Saxon" . The modern Scottish spelling is 'Sasannach'.
As employed by Scots or Scottish English-speakers today it is usually used in jest, as a (friendly) term
of abuse. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) gives 1771 as the date of the earliest written use
of the word in English.
So there you go! This mug features an outline map of Great Britain in case your crabbit sassenach still
lives in England, or maybe they've "seen the light" and moved to Scotland!!
Wherever they are, this mug should amuse for sure.
Please state clearly when ordering any specific area/town you wish to be included
or if it's the general Scot, Fifer or the Sassenach one you prefer,
and also if it's for a gent or lady.
Great for a Birthday Gift or indeed a Fun Gift at any time of the year!
Go on, make them laugh, then they won't be so crabbit!
Please note that the actual style of mug may change without notice from the one illustrated
above (all white exterior with a dark blue interior glaze) to a completely
white mug inside and out as supplies dictate.
