I'm offended and want reparations...
“scot-free (adj.)
Old English scotfreo “exempt from royal tax,” from scot “royal tax,” from Old Norse skot “contribution,” literally “a shooting, shot; thing shot, missile” (from PIE root *skeud- “to shoot, chase, throw;” the Old Norse verb form, skjota, has a secondary sense of “transfer to another; pay”) + freo (see free (adj.)). First element related to Old English sceotan “to pay, contribute,” Dutch schot, German Schoß “tax, contribution.” French écot “share” (Old French escot) is from Germanic.”
If I had spelled it “scott free” you’d be claiming a grievance payoff for not properly respecting your heritage. You get it coming and going! We know your type. I’ll bet your real name is “Sharpton.”
