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.
"I'm aff tae bed now, cheery ho"
"Aright then, May all yer turles hae' three heids"
"Thanks pal, and yae tae"
May all yer turtles hae' three heids
"Aright then, May all yer turles hae' three heids"
"Thanks pal, and yae tae"
May all yer turtles hae' three heids

Son: "Don't be quoting Pink Floyd on me again..."

This is often used to describe all the good qualities of a person without actually describing all the qualities at one time. Packing all the good in one box with no fancy wrapping paper.
Sally just acted out a series of good heart warming acts. Johnny didn't want to describe everything he thought was nice in a ten minute conversation so he just replied, "Yer Somethin'"
