Noun, adj.
Generally used outside of Scotland as a gentle way of describing a drunk, job-less, aggressive, half-crazy
football supporter with a horrible accent coming from the north who thinks he's the shit.
Within Scotland, used synonymously with pride, strength, health, honor and decency. Something everybody knows the Scots for, obviously, not head butts and heroin addiction.
Scottish
may also be used to describe an excessively stupid act: "stop acting so scottish and put that needle down
man!"
Do not confuse with
Chav, which, while it is an equally repulsive animal, comes from Kent and Essex, not Glasgow. However,
Chav and Scot are not mutually exclusive.
Scottish may be used to describe a fat person who deep-fries chocolate, or someone who wouldn't spare a
penny to save his dying grand-mother.
I can't believe I just saw this
fat, drunk, aggressive, half-crazy, skirt-wearing,
money grabbing, heroin addicted, job-less
football supporter choke on that deep fried mars bar!! He looks really proud of himself too. He must be Scottish.
