      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        It's an English corruption that only gained a temporary acceptance in Scotland in a post-Culloden time of grovelling adherance to English social mores by social climbers. It was already on the way out over 150 years ago- A J P Taylor only persisted with it because he was a lengendarily fusty old romantic over how wonderful the English are.

        It's about as accurate and relevant as replacing "American" with "Colonial."

          DanS is clearly a loyalist. We'll have to eliminate him when the British invade us again.

                If you think it's descriptive, I have no problem with it.

                  What the Scotch think about it only has minor relevance, as far as the wider English-speaking world goes.

                    This is true. But we have to put up with all the NASCAR-loving goodness of the Scotch-Irish.

                      Except that it's also supported by the rest of Britain, and by the rest of the English-speaking world that isn't ignorant or wilfully backing a losing argument.

                        Typical of the kind of arrogance we expect from Colonials.

                              Looks like our troll community finally rubbed off on him.

                              Pity about his target selection.
