    My Mum and Dad went to Scotland years ago, and while walking through a small village Mum asked an elderly gentleman walking his two Scottish terriers (in a rather broad Aussie accent I might add) for directions to the post office. He stared at her for a moment then said “Aye, sorry lass, aye cannae unnerstan a whirr yae seeyin”. Somewhat flustered Mum said “oh, oh, I see, thank you.” And they both went their separate ways scratching their heads in puzzlement.
    The thing that amazes me is that technically, they were both speaking the same language yet neither understood a word! 😂

    As an American, some of these make complete and total sense. "Rank" can be used exactly the same way here, it's just uncommon, and "wee bit" I think most people would know just means "a little". Or "bevvy" as short for "beverage". Even something like "gaun yersel'"; I'd probably be very confused in the moment, but it is just saying "go on yourself" with a Scottish accent, which is a bit like "go on with your bad self" -- a phrase many Americans would get -- so it makes sense. But "gettin' the messages" -- that one cracked me up🤣 I loved the explanation too. And I'd never have guessed "jobby" in a million years.
