It definitely isn't.
I'm sorry pal, I'm pretty sure your student just subconsciously thinks you're a Scotch douche.
I reckon that either A) someone's replaced Il Duce with Scotch Douche as a wind up and she hasn't noticed (I did this to my flatmate once, he left his laptop open and I replaced a word that appeared throughout the essay with, I think, the phrase "The Rangers are shite" but wouldn't have let him submit if he hadn't caught it) or B) she's thought she could get away with chucking a dig at me because of the language gap, which is both extremely passive aggressive and extremely unlikely.
EDIT: Funnily enough after my disastrous start to tutorials at Glasgow uni back in September I had a couple of students make a point of thanking me for a series of interesting, enjoyable tutorials after the final classes today, which warmed my heart. They're probably just looking for extra marks though
