Definitions
Troggs is an archaic Scots dialect term for clothes or garments — old, worn, or rough clothing in particular. The term appears in historical Scots dialect glossaries and is largely obsolete in contemporary speech. It belongs to the earthy, blunt vocabulary of Scots vernacular that names ordinary things — food, clothing, bodily functions — with minimal ceremony. The register is informal and slightly dismissive, suggesting clothes that are functional rather than fashionable.
