词源
scotch. “If a body could just find oot the exac’ proper propor- tion and quantity that ought to be drunk every day, and keep to that, I verily vow that he might leeve forever, without dying at a’, and that doctors and kirkyards would go oot of fashion.” These were the words of a pioneer sage of Dufftown, Scotland on the benefits of Scotch whiskey, which has a base of malted barley and was first made in Scotland. The national name Scotch is used to describe many things, often referring to the penuriousness traditionally attributed to the Scottish, scotch it- self sometimes meaning tight-fisted.
