To 'blair it'; to lie when all the evidence is to the contrary, simply for the sake of maintaining your self-image of infallibility.

"To Scotsman": meaning to pass comment to bolster one's ego.

My dad says guys in my area used the term "Glesgae kiss" as far back as 1960s.

My goad! Half o these sayings are way back further than the noted dates here - this shows how street culture is rarely observed at the time of its creation.

I can remeber sitting on a school bus trip in 74 and Gogs saying ‘Look at his coupon - ye just want tae go up and stick a big Glesgae kiss own it!’

Clearly from the sixties and razor gangs if not earlier.
