Gallus is wan of those brilliant Scottish words that carries attitude. It can mean bold, cheeky, confident, mischievous, or a wee bit too pleased wi' yersel'. Pure Gallus Mode is built roon that feeling. It isnae about bein' cruel; it's about turnin' up the character an' giein' the output mair swagger.

An' here's "That is a terrible idea":
Mild keeps it polite. Broad is proper Scottish. Pure Gallus is for when ye want tae commit tae the bit entirely. Ye've been warned.
Use it for captions, jokes, friendly banter, silly rewrites an' social posts where a normal translation feels too flat. It's especially guid when ye want something that sounds lively rather than textbook. The app keeps the humour playful an' encourages ye tae understand the tone before ye send onything too spicy.
