Lass was such a common term in my parents home especially from my Father's side who were both Scots and Irish so it was often "A wee bonny lad" or "A wee bonny lass". At home, I still reply, without thinking, "I dinna ken" and referring to a child as a wee bain, potatoes at "Pratties" and a glass of Scotch as a "Wee dram". I'll admit that when I've had a few "Wee drams" and am in my full dress kilt, the brogue of my forefathers tends to come out. No I do not own nor play the pipes. That ability still alludes me but I am good with a Claymore, Highland Dirk and Sghian Dubh....
