This new translator's job would be ideal for Magnatom, BhoyJim or any of our resident Glaswegians.... 
A new career for Magnatom or BhoyJim?

Looks like a stoater!
Looking at the list I knew all but one of those. I've never heard of Moroculous.
So here are a few others for CC'ers to try a hand at translating (some may have been local slang in the area I grew up)
Watch oot for that stank!
That dress she's wearing is pure bowfin!
There is a right stooshy goin' on over there.
She's lookin' a bit peely wally.
No looking up google! (assuming my spelling is right!)

Talking about strange words. I was in an MRI scan yesterday and did a double take on the name on the outside of the MRI room; Magnetom. So, that is where your name emanates from. I had to ask and was informed that magnet play an important part of the MRI machinery. Learnt something yesterday.

Yup. That is where my name came from. I thought I'd better change my name, otherwise i would have had problems with Siemens.... (oo-er!)I could tell you lots of amazing facts about MRI scanners. In fact the most interesting facts are about what would happen if a ferromagnetic oxygen cylinder got too close to an MRI scanner...
I hope the scan went well. Is this your shoulder?

No, my recent annual check up found that I was significantly deafer in one ear than a year ago. The doc was concerned enough to arrange an MRI. I had to go down to Middlesborough for it. I am not sure what it will find, but it is done. I think it is just old age and spending too much time as a young man shooting that has caused the problem.
