Finding a fine shell on the beach at Largs wee Kenny showed it to Shug, who concurred it was a dullion.
Shug then punched wee Kenny in the face and stole the shell. When wee Kenny ran tae his Maw, she consoled him by saying:
"that wee shite Shug gave you a dullion of a black eye son"

While it may appear to be a slightly distasteful but necessary choice to make in a desperate situation, cloots in fact are regularly the preferred method of wiping in Nort-Eastern Scotland due to the relative inexpense versus toilet paper. In posher households each family member will have their own cloot instead of the more traditional communal version.
The word cloot itself is simply a varient of cloth.

Arabs are what the fans of Dundee United FC are known as. The nickname stems from their excessively sandy football (soccer) pitch, which in turn is due to their geology on the East coast of Scotland.
Fans will often dress for the occasion in a caricatured Westernised robe and headdress, although last time I checked abstention from alcohol was not part of the MO.
