Scotsman

Kilt-wearing man

A Scotsman is a man from Scotland.

The term appears in jokes following a formula: An Englishman, an Irishman, and a Scotsman walk into a bar...

The No true Scotsman fallacy describes dismissing counterexamples by redefining group membership: when told some Scotsmen dislike whisky, replying that no *true* Scotsman would.
