midden
refuse collection point behind a tenement
The "middens" "rubbish dumps" were an important part of tenement life. They consisted of brick outhouses containing a number of large dustbins for the the rubbish generated by the folk who lived there. Since coal fires were the order of the day, ash was the principle waste found in the "middens" "rubbish dump". If someone discarded ash that still contained hot embers, a "midden fire" "dump conflagration" would ensue, much to the delight of the local weans.
Situated in the "back coorts" "back yards" (back courts), the "middens" "rubbish dump" from a child's point of view, could be castles, caves, treasure troves, shooting galleries (stones and tin cans), hiding places (believe it or not) and basically, adventure playgrounds of infinite variety and imagination. This is where you were likely to find those much sought after items such as pram wheels, bits of wood, "jeely jaurs" "jam jars" , empty beer bottles, string, nails, old clothes, tyres, bed springs, tin cans, discarded toys, mattreses, cuddly toys... everything you could ever wish for.
In summer they, and the area around them, were dry and dusty. The 'pail an spades' that were originally intended for the annual trip to the sandy beach, would be brought into service to build ashcastles and dirtpies. In wet weather the same equipment was used for mudpies. The "middens" "rubbish dumps" were the hub of childhood life, whether parents chose to believe it or not.

Wanna mah favourite Billy Connolly lines:
"We used tae pit good stuff in the midden jist tae show wae wirr well aff!" "We used to throw out perfectly good stuff to the tip. Just to show that we were well off."

"midden" "mucky child" could also be used instead of "messin" "rascal".
"Ye know that wee midden that wis ringin mah doorbell?" "You know that young rascal who was ringing my doorbell?"
"Aye!" "Yes!"
"Well, noo eez throwing stanes at the windae!" "Well, now, he is throwing stones at the window!"

And just to make life even more interestin, a "midden" "rubbish dump" could also be known as a "glesca" "glasgow".

"Dont furget eh mulk!" "Don't forget to buy some milk!"

mince
Has a variety of meanings.
minced meat. Of the famous "mince an tatties" "mince and potatoes" variety.
[Not to be confused with the fruit found in those wee so called 'mince pies' you find at christmas time. That has always confused me]
nonsense.
"Eez heid's full a mince since eh kim back fae that course!" "His head is full of nonsense since he came back from that course."
a bad job.
"Eez finished paperin the wa' bit ye want tae see it, it's mince!" "He has finished the wall-papering. You should see it. It is dreadful!"
stupid.

mines
mine
"Gie meh that back, it's mines!" "Give me that back! It is mine!"

mingin
stinkin, rotten, bad

murockulous
absolutely drunk and incapable
Probably a play on the word 'miraculous!'
Just how that translates I don't know!
"Eh kim in last night absolutely murockulous. Eh wis aht drunk eh dooned hoff a boatle a Cally Lotion afore eh realised it wisnae mulk!" "He came home last night in an alcoholic stupor. He was so intoxicated, he downed half a bottle of Calamine lotion before he realised that it wasn't milk!"

to miss out on the benefits due to non-appearance at an event
"Aw Betty ye missed yersell at the party last night it wis a rerr terr!" "Oh Betty! Because you were not there, you missed all the good things at the party. It was a splendid affair!"

moan
shortened version of "c'moan" "come on" , which in turn is a shortened version of "come oan" "come on" , which comes from the expression 'come on'.
"Aw Jimmy, urr ye cummin urr no?" "Oh James! Are you coming or are you not?"
"Aye ah'm urr." "Yes! I am."

moadil
Model Lodging House

or
"Eez a dirty messin, eh should be livin in a moadil!" "He is a dirty rascal. He should be living in a Model Lodging House!"
[The Victorian era saw the introduction in Glasgow of a large number of 'hostels' for the homeless, destitute and detritis of society. These are not to be confused with the Poorhouses of the time. As I write this, I realise that there is a lot to be said about Models, and a lot of it isn't funny. So I think I may leave it for another topic.]

molacate

Wan eh mah childhood favourites.
"Ah'm gaunae molacate you!" "I will pulverise you!"

to beat up someone, to set about them with a vengeance
"Ah better get some flooers furr mah maw furr murra's day urr she'll gie meh the malkie!" "I had better by my mother, some flowers for Mother's Day. If I fail, she will thoroughly chastise me!"
[There's a bit of history about this word. The story goes that, in the days of the Glasgow gangs ie. Teddy Boy era (c.'No Mean City' and all that). There was a gang leader/member called Malcom Fraser. Malcolm, shortened to Malky, and rhyming slang (Fraser/Razor) led to the term 'Malky' becoming synonymous with razor attacks. I really can't vouch for the authenticity of this but the expression "Tae gie sumbiddy the malky!" "To do something nasty to someone!" [in a humourous way] carries on to this day.]
