(Sarc...correct identifier would have been “Scottish”....)

Maybe not. A customer of and engineers at 3M who invented modern tape referred to their cheap boss, calling it Scotch Tape.

The brand name Scotch came about around 1925 while Richard Drew was testing his first masking tape to determine how much adhesive he needed to add. The bodyshop painter became frustrated with the sample masking tape and exclaimed, "Take this tape back to those Scotch bosses of yours and tell them to put more adhesive on it!"[4][5] The name was soon applied to the entire line of 3M tapes.
