On the '80s TV series 'The Mither Tongue', the phrase was 
being dicussed in Dundee for 'speaking in a posh accent'. It 
sounds like 'gaen eppin' - is that how I should spell it ?
Many thanks,

The wird ye're efter is 'knappin' whiles 'gnappin'.

the proper context???  
Thanks,

Hi. I need help. I am making a research about modal verbs in 
Scots. and have a question about double modal costructions -
 like "I might can do it". Are they often used? What 
combinations of verbs exactly and how are questions and 
negatives formed in such sentences?
