Michael Munro wrote The Patter and The Complete Patter - a book all about the Glasgow dialect and its multiple uses. Michael started writing it in the 1980s, when as a lexicographer he was helping his boss pull together a dictionary of Scots dialect. His boss was worried that as an Edinburgher he’d have a natural bias towards east coast vocabulary, so Michael was charged with collecting words and phrases from the west coast; the majority of which were unsuitable for an official dictionary on Scots language. Thus, The Patter was born.Ìý
