Brash

8. Scot. and North England Dialect .

a. a sudden shower or burst of rain.

b. any sudden, minor sickness or indisposition, especially of the digestive tract.

c. an assault; attack.

I hope you get to feeling better Jock.

Perhaps Kurt lives on the brash side of the pond.

Seriously, do you suppose pleating to the stripe is more dominant in North America because folks here mostly see the kilt in a parade setting either military or pipe band?
