Jock's a mislear'd imp, but ye're a rum deil

Jock may be mischievous, but he's well behaved by your standards

The fish that sooms in a dub will aye taste o' mud

You can never change your upbringing

When ye can suit yer shanks to my shoon, ye may speak

Don't speak about me until you've been in a similar situation yourself
