    Americans expect to hear “Auld Lang Syne” every New Year’s, but few know what the Scottish lyrics actually mean.http://nyer.cm/kyxy9Gi

        "Let Auld acquaintance be forgot" is the first acknowledgement in popular song of dementia. Here is the "Auld Lang Sign" which is in the Scottish County of Waleslandpic.twitter.com/1ZMXwQqCKT

        No, you've got it wrong. 'Auld Lang Syne ' was a song brought over by the Irish ferretherders. It refers to their propensity to catch colds in the unexpectedly dry climate of Scotland. It literally means 'my sinuses feel as if they're coming out of my armpits'

        Bob Redford and Meryl Streep kiss each other in ‘Out of Africa’ with the “Auld Lang Syne”... nice moment. Happy 2018 for all @NewYorker readers

        Would have been nice to see the actual Scots in the article. I'm a big fan of "and we'll take a right guid willie-Waught for auld Lang syne"

        Reasonably certain I have never heard this song, new years or otherwise and I'm pushing 35.
