If I give that away then there goes all the mystery, no?

BTW, are you having a fantastic Friday?

Oui, and you?

C'mon, explain your handle... Out with it.

chookter:

phonetic spelling of 'teuchter'. A mildly derogatory nickname for Scots Highlanders used in the lowlands of Scotland--Kind of like 'Redneck' over here.

It's a nickname I picked up in Glasgow because I'm big and blonde and of celto-nordic descent. A lot of the highlanders are actually of scandinavian stock and look different than the smaller lowland Scots.

Hence:

"Aye, yer a bluidy teuchter, ye are!"

I'm listening to 'Floodland' right now and drinking a dram of Oban Scotch....
