SCOTTISH TIDBITS

"To Scotch"

  Well here we ago again getting maligned for something we had nothing to do with! In phrases like "luckily the mischief was quickly scotched" (that is "stamped out" or "put and end to"), the term comes from Middle English, "scocchen" which itself was probably derived from the Anglo-French "escocher" meaning "to make an incision" hence "cut out".
