Scotologia

It is not what you would think.

That said, it seems I may well be a Scottish Scotologist.

I also like the term Person of Pallor, describing us whiteys.

Thanks Double Tongued Dictionary, a great resource.

Are all Scots double tongued and who is the girl in the background in the photo behind the resplendent Jocko?

I think that it was Bag. He wasn't wearing his cloak earlier. The only women who were tagging along at that time were Ruthie and Liz and I am sure that she didn't come to the bar.

Now that I've looked into the term, I think it's just a rare variant spelling of scatologia.

I just call myself tan-impaired with a linguistic bent.

It turns out to mean exactly what I would have assumed it meant - how disappointing, I was expecting a Queen Victoria like interest in Glens,Stags,Kilts and Rabbie Burns...

I have not met a Scotsman with a double tongue. They probably just sound like that after a few drinks.

That was what I was hoping for. I enjoy that link to Scottish culture. An optimistic, romantic take on a dour miserable country full of sheep, rain, alcohol and bitter envy for another way of life.

Lady McLeod

An eloquent turn of phrase

I'm impressed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that's equally educative and amusing,
and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The problem is an issue that not enough people are speaking
intelligently about. I'm very happy I came across this during my hunt for something relating to this.
