adjective
Scotsdialect
Bold, confident, and full of lively self-assurance, often to the point of being pert or cocky.
In Scots and northern English speech, someone described as crouse carries themselves with a brisk, cheerful confidence that can shade into cheekiness depending on the tone of the speaker. The word can describe a person's manner, a proud bearing, or even a bird holding its head up smartly, always with that same sense of lively self-satisfaction. It survives today mainly in dialect writing and older Scots literature rather than everyday standard English.
