Folk at school who wanted to have a few draws of someone else’s cigarette would often ask the person, “leave me twos” or if it was the very end it’d be “threes”. If they wanted a whole cigarette they’d ask, “crash me a fag”.
The last draw was known as 'leaving the beef'

chib - to give someone a doing

Incorrect. Chib (verb) means to stab or slash and chib (noun) is an implement used to stab or slash.

A facial scar is a chib-mark.

I may have just thought of one but unsure if I’ve just completely made this up. 

 

At roughly primary school age was “crud” used as an offensive word? 

“Shut up ya wee crud” ?

I think you were hearing it wrong, they were saying "c**t".

Don't think I heard anyone using that word at primary school although I grew up in a more civilised place than Dundee.

Meant to add - usually involves a weapon of some kind
