If Scotsmen didn’t wear kilts, the whole lexicon of the English language would have to be changed to remove such terms of endearment as "Up Yours".

I must hasten to point out that the term "Up Yours" is an intrinsic part of the Scottish language, not English. The English "Get Stuffed" would only be threatened if Paxo went into receivership.

I have met a few Jocks who get you into conversation at the Bar about this mysterious family called Shaws. When the unsurspecting Sassenach asks "What Shaws?" Bang you are in the net!! A Large Scotch and a chaser.
