Sired by surgical Sundries Inc.,
my appearance - patent pending - is awesome.
I am not fettled from fleeces of thick wool,
no knitter's needles knocked me up.
- Peter Reading, ?, from Tom O' Bedlam's Beauties, 1981
I hear it used relatively often (in the States, east coast), SoG, but only in the phrase thigpen mentions: in fine fettle.
I often wonder what a poor fettle might look like.
I thought this was particularly Scottish. Am I wrong?
