Are you using the word "outwith" to be funny, or is this really idiomatic in some dialect? I've seen people using "within and without" to mean "inside of and outside of" but not in anything written in the last hundred years.

The word "outwith" is used in Scotland. I'm not Scottish, but I've heard Scots use the word, and Oxford English Dictionary has recent quotations for it from Scottish newspapers.
Very interesting, thank you.
