Scots words – stramash

A stramash is a disturbance, an uproar, commotion, a bit of a row or fight. It is more serious than a stooshie and generally more bad tempered.

The great football commentator Arthur Montford was well known for using the phrase “What a stramash,” – whenever there was a bit of a rumpus around the goal-mouth.
