May all yer turtles hae' three heids

This is a traditional Scottish saying in rural Stirlingshire which means as it sounds in English 'May your turtles have 3 heads'. It is a phrase typically used by those who aim to wish a person a deep sleep. It is unclear of the origins of the phrase, especially as there are no wild turtles in Scotland and Stirlingshire has no coast, however it may have originated when Scotland was a driving force of the commonwealth.

A phrase heard in the Pink Floyd song, "Another Brick in the Wall". Extremely funny.
Son: "Mom, can I have some pudding?"
Mom: "You haven't eaten your meat yet."
Son: "But mom!"
Mom: "Son, you know that: 'If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"
Son: "Don't be quoting Pink Floyd on me again..."

mai yer

A girl that is very chill when you first meet but when you start to get closer with her she gets a little bit more crazy. But the more you get to know her the more you’ll wanna be around her and with her. Because she is a sweet, loving, chill, nice, beautiful, fine, cute, and outstanding girl and there’s more but it’ll just be too much. But she will be the perfect girl you always wanted because she is like an angle because that’s how amazing she is. She will be the perfect girlfriend too because she is a loyal, caring, understanding, trustworthy, and sweet girl. So the guy she is with right now is very lucky because he got a beautiful princess with him. And she loves being called princess for reason but whatever makes my princess happy I’ll do it. I love you my princess ❤️.
Mai yer is the best person in the world and makes me so happy ❤️
