Scottish practice dating back to the XIX century has once again caught the attention thanks to TikTok: users are thrilled with this eccentric tradition and actively share their experiences of Hurkle-Durkle. And although many of us may not realize it, most of us are essentially familiar with the practice of Hurkle-Durkle, writes the Daily Mail.
The hashtag «Hurkle Durkle» has become a real hit on this social network — videos with this tag have already been viewed more than 5.5 million times. The name may seem funny and unusual, but, essentially, Hurkle-Durkle is a simple activity: staying in bed after the alarm goes off, not rushing to get up.
We may feel a sense of guilt when postponing getting up after the alarm, but the Scots urge to embrace this behavior without internal reproach. Literally translating from Scottish, «hurkle durkle» means «to lie in bed or idle when you should be getting up».
