Traditional response of the auld heid to the salutary greeting “How are ye?”- “No deid yet.” This response sums up in just three words the indominatibility
of the human spirit while simultaneously giving a glimpse of the depths of terrible
suffering experienced by the auld heid in the normal everyday course
of his long existence. An alternative to no
deid yet, if the auld heid is
being playfully loquacious would be “Hingin
on”, or “Just hingin on an nae mair”.
