From https://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle-2-15039/scottish-word-of-the-day-brammer-1-2184588:

“Used to describe something that’s really good, its usage is fairly sparse – possibly due to its relative newness. It can also be used as a noun in some cases, e.g. that yin’s a brammer.  As is the case with a lot of Scots dialect, certain words are confined to one area of the country, or in some cases, the same word has a different meaning in different places. ‘Brammer’ is one such word, as it seems to be predominantly West of Scotland dialect.”

Maybe we can make it popular in Canada – that would be pretty brammer!  And my birthday dinner at mom and dad’s was also pretty brammer 🙂

From https://www.dictionary.com/e/duende/

“In the dictionary, the word is listed as “elf” or “magic.” However, in actual practice, when the word shows up in text, it is rarely in the context of a woodland spirit, although that is where the word’s etymology begins.

In 1933 Spanish poet and theater director Federico Garcia Lorca gave a lecture in Buenos Aires titled “Play and Theory of the Duende” in which he addressed the fiery spirit behind what makes great performance stir the emotions:

“The duende, then, is a power, not a work. It is a struggle, not a thought. I have heard an old maestro of the guitar say, ”The duende is not in the throat; the duende climbs up inside you, from the soles of the feet.’ Meaning this: it is not a question of ability, but of true, living style, of blood, of the most ancient culture, of spontaneous creation … everything that has black sounds in it, has duende.””

Yikes!
