Gammerstang commented on the word boukit-washing
(noun) - The great annual purification of the linen used in a family by means of bouk, a lye made of cow's dung and stale urine, in which foul linen is steeped in order to its being cleansed or whitened. The linen is sometimes allowed to lie in this state for several days. --John Jamieson's Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language, 1808
