Scotch (disambiguation)
Encyclopedia

General

  • Scotch (adjective), a largely obsolescent adjective meaning having to do with Scotland and usually now considered pejorative unless related to food or drink.

The terms Scottish, Scot, Scots, and Scotch are all variants of the same word. They have had different histories, however, and in modern English they have developed different uses and connotations. The normal everyday word used to mean "of or relating to Scotland or its people" is Scottish, as in Scottish people; Scottish hills; Scottish Gaelic; or "she is English, not Scottish". The normal, neutral word for 'a person from Scotland' is Scot, along with Scotsman, Scotswoman, and the plural form the Scots (or, less commonly, the Scottish).
