The very first comic strips begin and end with this saying. And whenever readers come across this phrase, they know: Wullie is about to do some mischief! But what is this ony about?

Nowadays, the use of this word has become obsolete in English. However, jings or by jings is occasionally still in use in Scots and Scottish English. In its first recorded usage, by jing was shown to have been a swear word. The expression by jing was, for example, included in the poem “Halloween” by Robert Burns from 1785. 22 Similar occurrences of jings have also been noted in Australian English, even today. The Macquarie Dictionary defines jings as “A remark or whinge of derision when one is told one cannot have what one wants (i.e., go to the pictures, swimming, have money etc.): Jings! Also, jingies” – this is exactly the meaning evident in Oor Wullie.” 23

( February 2019) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Maggie (Margaret) Broon – The beautiful, glamorous daughter with blonde hair and fashionable clothing. She has a steady stream of beaux and is bitterly envied by the drab Daphne. In the later editions, Maggie became a model, and a weather girl. Despite their rivalry over men, Daphne and Maggie share a close bond and Maggie even stands up for Daphne when she is taunted; notably in one strip, she flirted with a man in a bar and threw the drink he had bought her over him as revenge for his hurtful comments toward Daphne. The Oxford English Dictionary also states that jings apparently was a sacred name which may have been introduced to the English and the Scottish language through Basque sailors. Jinko, Jainko ( Yinko, Yainko), Jincoa and Jaincoa are Basque spellings of references to God. 20 In another context, in the Russian war against the Turks in 1878, the Russian tendency to feel superior was sometimes described as jingoism. Likewise, still today, jingoism refers to a “mood of inflated patriotism”. 21Women and the Scottish Press – the curious case of Jessie M. King(s) By Charlotte Lauder, Karen Mailley-Watt

Created by writer/editor R. D. Low and artist Dudley D. Watkins, the strip made its first appearance in the issue dated 8 March 1936. [1]Jings! That wis a narrow escape!” 13 The exclamation slips out of Wullie’s mouth quite frequently. Needless to say, Wullie has sometimes been criticised for using the swear word jings. In a story from 1948, 14 Wullie’s mother scolds her son rather harshly, saying: “I’m fed up hearin’ you say ‘jings’ and ‘crivvens’ – jings, it’s awfy language – how can ye no try tae stop it?” The not-so-changing face of Oor Wullie on his 80th anniversary". BBC News. 8 March 2016 . Retrieved 27 October 2021. The first Oor Wullie comic strip was published in the Sunday Post on March 8, 1936. Since then, these comics have been printed every weekend as part of the Sunday Post’s Fun Section and again at the end of the year in annuals. From 1940 to 2015, these were published every other year, alternating with The Broons, a comic strip about a Scottish family, and in Special Collections that come out every few years. Fortunately, as its consistently large readership would put it, since 2015 the annuals have been published every year. Between 2016 and 2017, artist Diego Jourdan Pereira filled in for Peter Davidson on Wullie, The Broons and Wee Harry. Jourdan Pereira also provided illustrations for the 2017 Annual and official merchandising. [5] Characters and story [ edit ] An Oor Wullie costume as part of The Big Walk [6]

This, however, does not mean that Oor Wullie has become less interesting or that it is not just as playful today – with new digital means of communication.According to the Scottish National Dictionary, jings is a ‘mild expletive’. 15 Its English equivalent would be ( by) jingo. 16 Furthermore, the Oxford English Dictionary explains high jingo! as ‘a piece of conjuror’s gibberish’. 17 Very similar to Oor Wullie’s use of the expression, the Oxford English Dictionary records that by jingorelates to the French par Dieu, meaning “by God”. 18 The occurrence of the word in the expression high jingo can be proven as early as the late seventeenth century (1670, to be precise). 19
