Thanks for the explanation. I did get the Warhol reference but the phrase (or is it a word?) weel kent threw me off. FYI I don't think any singular use of Scots makes the Scots word itself "strange", it is what it is. :-P (To clarify that wasn't an attack at all, it was simply a comment on how some people find things that are common in one culture strange or unusual because they are not culturally acclimatized to said thing - which I am almost certain I do myself from time to time. Anyhoo [livejournal.com profile] sharikkamur may actually be in the know about weel kent being an obscure Scots phrase/word, in that case my bad for saying anything...)
