taps aff

Glaswegian (Scottish). Literally "tops off." Originally an expression for hot weather, hot enough to take one's shirt off. A phenomenon rarely seen in Glasgow. Now an expression describing good times being had. Often issued as an instruction.

The lesser-used opposite would be "taps oan."

Ah'm pure sweatin' buckets, man. Taps aff!
