On Being Scottish

Feel free to disagree at any point. Also if any of my Aussie readership would like to do one on their national characteristics please do.

What being Scottish means.

Your own interpretation of my euphemisms may appear in brackets. Friendly (drunk); forgiving (because we've all done it ourselves, when drunk); curious; counter-cultural, in that it's OK to profess no interest, ever, in the likes of Diana; difficult; self-aware, self-taught, self-reliant; over-analytical; noble (maudlin); wry, shambolic, baffling, and curiously able (except when drunk) to be the first to rip the living piss out of ourselves. Much more, for good and ill: doomed, inventive, fatalistic, spendthrift (don't believe the myth, it's a myth).

And what being Scottish means according to the Urban Dictionary.

SCOTTISH
An adjective describing a pleasurable sexual experience.

What a Scottish Shag!

I am loathe to argue with that definition.
