A Scottish dialectal adjective meaning itchy. The 'yeuk' root (meaning the itch or to itch) is well established in Scots, and '-y' is a standard adjectival suffix. The word is natural in Scottish informal speech but would sound strongly regional and potentially unfamiliar in any other context. Completely standard vocabulary for anyone raised in Scotland, but exotic to outsiders. The word is spelled to match how it sounds in Scots.
(Internet slang, humorous) ever.
Geordie dialect pronunciation and spelling of yourself, typical of the Tyneside accent of northeast England. Used in natural speech exactly where standard English would use yourself. Geordie retains a number of older English pronoun forms, and yersel is a well-documented example. Primarily spoken; rarely appears in formal writing.
(Geordie, Wearside, Durham, Northumberland) A positive yes, of course.
