Serious question -

If a Scottish man calls a woman hen, what does a Scottish woman call a man?



I've actually tried to Google this  :-\


This is quite funny . . .

I'm serious, I'm revisiting an idea for the same joke in different languages, just in case I ever get an international audience  ::) and I wanted to do a Scottish version, but it's me doing the talking . . .
