A Doric A-Z: H revisited

An occasional A-Z of the Doric, the dialect spoken in the North-East of Scotland which is rich in words and phrases associated with the land and the sea.

HOCHMAGANDIE: Fornication, sexual intercourse for the purposes of recreation rather than procreation, rumpy-pumpy, jiggery-pokery etc.

This was the scene in in our back-garden this morning. Spring has sprung and a Mallard duck's thoughts have turned to hochmagandie, much to the alarm of the shy, sensitive drakes. Zoomify to see the raw lust in her eye.
