Word of the Day: Stoater

[Capt Lightning]

(a) Stoater is a word often used in Scotland and Ireland and can refer to anything that is particularly beautiful or of high quality. Often applied to attractive girls eg. "She's a wee stoater". I believe it can also refer to a horse that wins against the odds.

Since a stoat is a short-tailed weasel, I'm not sure I'd feel complimented if called a "stoater".

"Totally stouter", cried-out the antique shopper, when she pulled open the heavy glass entry doors to the shop.

I would have thought the word stoater reffered to a member of the polecat, marten, weasel and ermine family

The guys used to tell me I was a stoater when I was young but I never saw it.

[Sliverfox]

So if some cute guy were tell I was a stoater,, he might get ignored.
