More help with Scots and Scots Gaelic slang

[Mavericker]

Hi-how is everyone? I haven't been here in a while.

Hello. I'm interested in and am doing research on Scottish slang-Scots and Scottish Gaelic youth, street and college slang for a project I'm working on.

I'd like to know what are Scots and Scottish Gaelic slang terms and expressions for:

big shot

an important or influential person.

besides:

"big Yin"?

Please let me know and please list as many Scots and Scottish Gaelic slangs for "big shot" as possible. Thank you.

Hello Polworth-this is a new question. I appreciate the help I was given.

What does this have to to do with the other questions?

I have not been here in a long time-I don't recall the last time I was here. What does my past behaviour or whatever the problem is have to do with now?

We can only judge you by past performance.
This is POSITIVELY my last post to you. If any of the other Scots, the nicer, more evenly tempered ones want to engage with you, mair po'er tae thur elbows.

I am sorry for whatever I did in the past that offended y'all.

Getting back to topic:

I was told "bos" is a Gaelic term and it means "boss, master".

I was told "wido" is Scots and it means "big shot".

Boss is originally Dutch.

Wido (wide-o, wide-boy) is originally a Cockney phrase.

Thank you. Do Scotspeople still use these terms?
