Scotland's favourite word is "numpty", according to a survey conducted for a children's charity.
The nickname for an idiot beat more politically correct entries such as "love", "hope" and "family", which were more popular in other parts of the UK.
Other words winning Scotland's vote included "peelywally" and "scunnered".
People across Britain took part in the online challenge to create a 'Wall of Words'.
'Love' appeared in the Wall more than 600 times, making it the UK's favourite word.
It proved particularly popular with women, who were five times more likely to opt for it than men.
British males voted 'antidisestablishmentarianism' their favourite word with 'onomatopoeia' also in their top 10.
