"And an unco fright ye gae me when ye cam ahint and took a grip o' me," said Jenny, giving him a sly twitch with her finger and her thumb "if ye hadna been an auld acquaintance, ye daft gomeril"
You may easily imagine that it created no small surprise in the place when they heard a great big fellow with a china saucer in his hand crying out: 'A raal chaney saucer going for a hundred pieces of goold! raal chaney who'll be buying? 'Erra, what's that you're saying, you great gomeril? says a man, coming up to him, and looking first at the saucer and then in his face.
"Weel, lassie," said Elspeth when he was gone, "frae what we ken aboot Mr. Black, the thing's clear enough. He's lookin after Sunnybraes for his muckle gomeril o' a son; an', if Gavin Goosequill can get it for him, by hook or by crook, by lies or by true tales, he'll no want it lang.
Turnbull, and tell him the young lad is a stranger and that his folk are in Scotland. Hoots, ye gomeril, be off noo, an' the puir lad wantin' ye. Come, I'll pit ye on yer way." The maid by her speech was obviously excited. Sam glanced at the clock as he passed out. He had been away an hour and a half. "Jumpin' Jeremiah! I've got to hurry. She'll take my head off."
"I doobt ye micht come upo twa afore ye wan throw the million! A million's a heap o' women!"

'Don't be talking, you great gomeril, says Owney; 'only bring me to the king at once. He was brought before the king.
He dashed out of his little house and leaning over the railing shouted to the Ancient Mariner: "Sandy, ye gomeril! Back her up, back up, man, she's goin' over!"

The crowd rushed to the side to see what had happened, and there might have been a real catastrophe had not Lawyer Ed taken command.
I spoke with much impressiveness but, to my chagrin, instead of the congratulations that were my due on such an occasion, she looked concerned and almost angry, and cried, "The very deil's in it!" "I am sorry your ladyship is displeased," I said coldly. Scot clings to Scot, and she did not like it. "Displeased, ye daft gomeril!" she retorted.
"Bid our Hugh there rin hame for his hippen clouts lest he make of himself a shame," he cried; "'tis not fair that we should have to fight with babes." "Mayhap he will be as David to your Goliath, thou great gomeril!" replied the Earl with equal good humour, seeing his cousin Hugh blush and fumble uncomfortably at his arms.
"He seemed rale agitatit when he brocht it in to me, but I cheered him up by tellin' him how ye wad dreel him wi' the besom-shank gin he waur to gang to the Black Bull i' the forenichts." "Gang to the Black Bull! what div ye mean, ye gomeril? Saunders I mean; ye ken weel that Maister Peden wadna gang to ony Black Bull."
