glaikit

What does glaikit mean?

Scots for vacant, gormless, dim — the look of someone who's been asked a question and is still buffering thirty seconds later. Less about actual intelligence and more about appearance: the slack-jawed, mouth-open, lights-on-no-one-home expression. Brutal but precise.

"He just stood there glaikit while the bus pulled away without him."
