It took me a minute to comprehend what you were getting at, then I re read it - Priceless :-D

I've noticed a few times that imaginatively named topics tend to chaotically bubble into orders that spin a whole new meaning.
Before the great SQL disaster that was 'black October', it happened once or twice, with the most comical things cropping up. I can remember commenting on it then. Alas that was one of the threads that was lost forever...

An ancient prophecy says that a chosen one will lead us to the right topic alignment, that would reveal the location of the lost treasure of Amiga.org.

It's more of a western thing, sounds more Glaswegian than east coast. I'd never heard of it before reading it here and I'm a pure Dundonian :-D
-
I figured it was a weegism, actually. I think I heard Wilse explaing the meaning once :-)

Weegism?
Now you're just making these up :-P
-
Sorry, weegie-ism. My bad :lol:

You were just thinking about bloodlines sock again...

For clarity, a 'stoater', at least in my part of the world, is a wonderfully versatile word, which can be applied to a number of things.
A few examples:
Anyone who saw Ronaldinho score that audacious goal on Tuesday night? That was a stoater.
My pal's new telly. Flat screen, 42", lovely display - stoater!
The above are examples of positive usage.
When it comes to describing young women (I've never heard girls or gay people use it, think it's a hetero, male thing) things can be a little more confusing.
For example, one may be heard asking:
"Huv ye seen that Halle Berry? Right wee stoater, so she is!"
Again this is positive. On the other hand, you may also overhear:
"Huv ye seen that Roseanne Barr? Right big stoater, so she is!"
Obviously negative.
I believe the origin comes from the verb; to 'stoat'. This generally means to 'bounce' or 'hit', as far as I'm aware.
One can stoat a ball, off a wall. Incidentally, on can be referred to as 'stoat-the-baw'. This is usually but not always derogatory.
It would only be used in reference the the animal, the stoat, if said stoat was particularly cute, agile, fast, etc.
e.g. "That wee stoat's a right wee stoater."
I hope that clears up any misunderstanding.

@Wilse
Cheers. That explanation was a stoater :-D
See? And you guys thought I was making it up :lol:
