Yin

[rich p]

To my credit, and I make no bones about this blatant piece of showing off, I have been called a 'cock' by Bonj, a 'twat' (IIRC by Wigsie) and a 'yin' by Greedo.
It's almost as good as a gong in the New Year's Honours List.

It's quite easy really, just give some and

Being called a cock by Bonj just has to be the highest of those compliments. Well done. keep on as you are, you're clearly getting things right!

 

[XmisterIS]

Stop trolleying on like a sky-blue snark, you big old car freshener, you!

 

[Greedo]

It's not an insult. I was always taught to respect my elders

Big yin
Old yin
Wee yin
Young yin

all terms in Scotland that mean "one" as already mentioned. Just a term.

Why change you habits now??
