Meaning award or stubborn
Haes as thran as Donkey
This is one of my favourite Ulster-Scots wurds.
Ma oul freen Mr Thompson suggested-
As thran as a bag o weasels or As thran es a bag o' Whutricks (Stoats)
Done oor wye it wus, Thran es a bag o' Wullicks
Whuch brought tae mine yin anither variation A herd brave an aftin:
Crabbit as a bag o' weasels.
