Does it? Most people would say it means turnip. And I doubt whether most would see it as a term of endearment, either.

More by accident than design, I suspect, you have happened to hit upon something real - the French influence on many Scottish words, such as "ashet" plates etc.
Well I got that from another Scottish site, please correct me if I am wrong.
