I've heard a lot of terms used to describe Americans...! Most of the terms referring to the tourists in the LOUD quasi-Burberry check trousers & pink Pringle sweaters who parade annually around central Edinburgh trying to "prove" their Scottish roots by picking up some of their "Clan" Tartan.
At times it almost seemed a shame to tell them that there was NO clan "MacSchwartzenburger"... So one enterprising guy modelled what constitutes "Tartan" and now produces some very authentic looking check patterns through a computer controlled loom for anyone who wants one. He even keeps a database of the "New Clan names" so all the "MacSchwartzenburgers" who go to his shop all get the same tartan!
