During the day-time, the pin was attached to a bar or sneck in such a way that when the latch was pulled the door was free to open. But at night the pin was disconnected from the door-fastening and hung loose, so that when the latch was pulled the pin rattled.” W. Forbes.

For the derivation Sir W. D. Geddes suggests as possible le pire, which would be in the way of the Scottish “ill chiel.” Professor Cappen writes: “Familiar name in doggerel lines recited by boys in their games. One boy stood back against the wall, another bent towards him with his head on the pit of the other’s stomach; a third sat upon the back of the second. The boy whose head was bent down had to guess how many fingers the rider held up. The first asked the question in doggerel rhyme in which Pirie, or Pirie’s chair, or hell, was the doom threatened for a wrong answer. I remember Pirie (pron. Peerie) distinctly in connection with the doom. Pirie’s chair probably indicates the uncomfortable position of the second boy (or fourth, for there may have been a fourth who crouched uncomfortably on the ground below the boy bending), whose head or neck was confined in some way and squeezed after a wrong answer.”pistol-pece, III, 432,9: pistol.pit, I, 86,31; 467,17; V,219,10: put. pit mee down, II, 131,4: be my death. pit back, IV, 510,W3: stop the growth or development of.pret.pat.p. p.pitten, putten.pith, hammer o the, II, 374,B2: sounds like nonsense.

During the day-time, the pin was attached to a bar or sneck in such a way that when the latch was pulled the door was free to open.

Seegin.

Pirie, in Pirie’s chair you’ll sit, the lowest seat o hell: I, 429,30,31. For the derivation Sir W. D. Geddes suggests as possible le pire, which would be in the way of the Scottish “ill chiel.” Professor Cappen writes: “Familiar name in doggerel lines recited by boys in their games. One boy stood back against the wall, another bent towards him with his head on the pit of the other’s stomach; a third sat upon the back of the second. The boy whose head was bent down had to guess how many fingers the rider held up. The first asked the question in doggerel rhyme in which Pirie, or Pirie’s chair, or hell, was the doom threatened for a wrong answer. I remember Pirie (pron. Peerie) distinctly in connection with the doom. Pirie’s chair probably indicates the uncomfortable position of the second boy (or fourth, for there may have been a fourth who crouched uncomfortably on the ground below the boy bending), whose head or neck was confined in some way and squeezed after a wrong answer.”
