: : Does anyone know what Mr Burns means by "shaw"?
: Yes, he meant "snow"
: Doughy
I ume its the line from John Anderson, my Jo;
"But now your head's turned bald, John, your locks are like the snaw"
and not "shaw"
Burns most certainly did not mean "snow". He was more than capable of writing in English and if he had meant "snow" he would have written "Snow". he meant the Scots word "snaw", that is the essence of vernacular poetry.
