5. I love this. I'm learning Scottish slurs I'd never heard before. "Roaster" pretty much means fool.

Absolutely great phrases from the protests!

From A.I. Google:

In Scottish slang, "absolute roaster" refers to someone who is acting foolish, making a spectacle of themselves, or is generally an obnoxious and annoying person. It's often used to describe someone who is making a fool of themselves in a public setting or acting in a way that is considered embarrassing or ridiculous. The term can be used playfully or critically, but generally has a negative connotation.

It reminds us of someone…

Anyone in Scotland who approved of proving security for Dipshit Donnie while he golfed should be canned.
