A Scottish term for a funeral feast or gathering where food and drink are shared after a burial, with a dirge-like or solemn atmosphere.
From Scots 'dirgie,' possibly derived from 'dirge' with a diminutive or informal suffix '-ie,' reflecting Scottish dialect traditions.
In Scottish tradition, a 'dirgie' was the meal after the funeral—but calling it that made it sound both sad and communal, like sharing grief over soup and bread!
