A comment made by Sam, our (my office) resident Scott, upon my showing her this video clip "I thought it was only dumb Americans who referred to we Scots as Scotch. Scotch is a bloody whisky FFS".

Norty norty Mr H. Beware the angry haggis munchers.

Given it was for a whisky advertisement, I thought the use of Scotch would be OK?

The people of Scotland are Scots or Scottish - the local lingo is called Scots Tongue (unless you're a cheuchter in which case it's Gaelic) this is words like kirk, bairn, unco, wee, brig, ken, doon, ocht etc.

As King Sean Connery says "Here endeth the lesshon"

Actually in strict English terms "Scotch" is not incorrect, seeing as it was used in a "patronising or faintly offensive" method.

I agree with Hitcher, it's an advert for scotch whisky, and is THEIR haka, not the Scottish peoples - otherwise it would have to be "The Scot's Haka", you lot are correct about that.
