(Scotland) Active, nimble.
(Scotland) brisk; lively; bold.
A Scottish dialectal adjective meaning itchy. The 'yeuk' root (meaning the itch or to itch) is well established in Scots, and '-y' is a standard adjectival suffix. The word is natural in Scottish informal speech but would sound strongly regional and potentially unfamiliar in any other context. Completely standard vocabulary for anyone raised in Scotland, but exotic to outsiders. The word is spelled to match how it sounds in Scots.
