Well if I didn't support Scottish independence before I bloody do now.

I prefer Scodaddle

An attitude of “oh well people are already using it so just accept it” is, frankly, a ridiculous one, but I’m gonna stop engaging with it now and hope others do the same.

Personally it does nothing but remind me of my local pizzeria’s “Scozzese” offering(a pizza with black pudding and haggis).


It'll be fun to see Brexit supporters using Remain arguments against Scexit though. :lol:

I don't like the term either, but you know it's likely Scexit is going to be adopted by the media and then everyone else. You might have to accept it.

So if we have Scexit for the independence from the UK move does that mean we have to then have something like "Scotin", "ScEU" or "EuroScot" a few years later for when they get to join the EU again?

I vote for 'Scotin'.

And with that, Jenuall is the new Moggy. I look forward to revisiting this post in a few years.
