It’s marvellous stuff and a tonic everyone should enjoy. Except the boorish krauts and the reptilian French of course. So you would have no problem with the mean Jocks? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be thin-skinned and show a complete lack of national confidence. Unless of course it came from a thick mick, a greasy spic, a lazy arab, a boring German, a neurotic Canadian, a chaotic Greek, or a posing wop. Then it would be utterly unacceptable. ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil's advocaat 1,276 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Jocks, sweaty socks et al doesn't bother me, but in a journalistic sense the jibes are as described, lazy and show a lack of coherant material to fill a column. The greatest paroqial putdown goes to the French, and their utter contempt for the English diet - Les Rosbifs. Tremendous. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny though that we don't have a similarly insulting one for the English though, is it not? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,173 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 There are too many Englishmen to pin any particular label on them. I know what many SNP followers call them, though. Seriously, are you offended if anyone calls you a mean Jock? Can we compete with Yorkshire tykes in meanness? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decidedly unScottish, in my view. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,638 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Are Scottish people seriously bothered about getting called Jocks? Deary me, what have we become. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,429 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Scottish soldiers have been called 'Jocks' for centuries, as far as I can see. If these generations did not find it 'offensive'...... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
