Much like our Gallic chums were labelled 'Cheese-eating surrender monkeys' by hard of thinking right wing, Jesus lovin' , banjo pluckin', dungaree wearing rednecks and the rest of the Bush cabinet. I imagine that Scotland is probably about to undergo a similar linguistic bashing.
Memorably our American cousins renamed French fries, 'freedom fries'. This got me thinking, what etymological ethnic cleansing might they do to remove 'Scotch' from their vocabulary?
Therefore I present to you my selection of new Scotch appellations.
Scotch egg = Freedom egg.
Scotch tape = Liberty tape.
Scotch whisky = Free speech juice
Scotch Beef = Emancipation beef
HopScotch = Hop Liberation
Scotch Broth = Immunity Soup
not forgetting the
Scotch pie = paradise pie.
You get my drift, please feel free to add your own contributions....
