==The Ayrshire greeting==
No one knows the origins of this ritual greeting formula which, alongside the [[Auld Lang Syne]] and the [[Selkirk Grace]] has become familiar throughout the English-speaking world. It is believed it may have something to do with swine rustling, which was common in Scotland in the middle ages.
Person A - Is that your Ayrshire bacon?
Person B - No, Ah'm just warmin my hauns.
