1. Scottish rhyming slang for racist term "Pakis"
2. (Accies) A corner shop in Scotland.
3. A football (soccer) team from the west of Scotland. Full title: Hamilton Academical.
The usage of 1 & 2 is linked- due to the large numbers of Pakistani and Indian immigrants who owned shops. Usage is sparse nowadays- except in the West of Scotland, around Motherwell and Hamilton- where the obvious geographical link between the phrase and the place of usage is apparent. Definition 2 is also acceptable in Northern Ireland.

derogatory remark,racist comment,used in scotland at times.
A Pakistani or more generally, a person who is perceived to be a Pakistani often applied to persons of any South Asian or Middle Eastern origin or indeed immigrant. Although deriving from the word Pakistan ,Paki became offensive during the 1960s when used by british citizens to refer to immigrants in a racist manner.
