An Irish ethnic group which ultimately traces its roots back to Scotland. The majority of the Scots-Irish people in America live in the Appalachian Mountain Range and these people have played a large role in American history from the Whiskey Rebellion, Civil War, to 17 different US Presidents being of Scots-Irish origin.

More of a dialec than a language derived form Scottish settlers living in Northern Ireland.
Some bright wee prod realised that the catholics were getting EU money for speaking Gaelic and decided they wanted a piece of the pie too!

"The ultimate DIY language", as a local politician once eloquently put it.
A 'dialect' supposed to be derived from that of Scottish settlers who came to Ireland a long time ago, however it's actually not a language at all, and sounds laughably more like someone merely speaking slang words in a Ballymena farmer's accent..
Interestingly though, governments seem to be fooled by this quest for lingual recognition, and are happy to throw money at the cause ! Maybe they're just happy that they're doing something other than drug dealing and whacking each other for a change....

Any Scottish person who is especially hot. Usually applies to men. Examples are John Barrowman, Sean Connery, and most popularly, David Tennant. Can be used as an exclamation as well as a noun/label. More commonly used in the US than in Britain, confusingly.
Person a) Did you see David Tennant on Doctor Who last night!
Person b) That man is a hot scot! Phwoar!
2:
person a) Man, I just did all my homework and went cliff diving IN THE SAME DAY.

The first rednecks to America, creaters of North Carolina, and some of the most ill-tempered people one has ever met. They are not really Irish, but moved to Ireland for a short time before moving to America, so basically they are rejected Scottish people. Not really some people to be messed with in general.
