half-fu

Updated: May 5, 2025

He's always hinging owre the counter talking till her, a cigarette dropping from his face, and a half-fu' tumbler at his elbow. When a young chap takes to hinging round bars, ae elbow on the counter and a hand on his other hip, I have verra bad brows o' him always verra bad brows, indeed. Oh oh, young Gourlay's just a goner! a goner, sirs a goner!"
