(Scotland, intransitive) To stutter or stammer.
(dialectal, Appalachian, Northern England, Scotland) A stick, twig or peg, especially in roofing or matting.
British slang, particularly used in Scotland and the north of England, meaning thoroughly drunk. When someone is stoated, they've had far too much and are likely bouncing off walls — which may well be the origin, as 'stoat' in Scottish English can mean to stagger or bounce. The word has a satisfying bluntness to it, painting a picture of someone who is not just merry but genuinely off-balance and unsteady on their feet.
(Scotland) An awkward or struggling movement; stumble.
