In the Scots language, pree means “to taste” or “sample.” If you pree someone’s mouth, then you give them a kiss on the lips. It’s a variant of the word prove, and cognate with Spanish probar, to “taste.” This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Pree”
Here’s a good word for either hangman or crossword puzzles.
It’s the word pree, P-R-E-E.
Do you know this term, Pre?
Mm-mm.
It’s a Scottish word.
Pre means a trial or a taste or a sample.
And you can also pre a person’s mouth, which is to give them a kiss.
A sample a mouth?
Yeah.
Yeah.
The taste of one’s lips.
Right.
Or you pre a kiss or something like that.
And it didn’t make any sense to me until I realized that it’s a variant of prove, you know, to test, like Spanish probar.
And it’s like in the Scottish language, you know, you say gi rather than give.
It’s like pre rather than prove.
Perfect.
It makes perfect sense to me.
Pre a kiss.
I love it.
Excellent.
I’m adding that.
Okay.
Socking that one away for future years.
I bet.
