    Edit, that's just my two bits. I tend to agree with Phil that by the time everyone agrees the motto will be neutered to fit everyone's sensitivities.
    Colin, read the post - he's proposing it as a BATTLE CRY. If Wallace had shouted "IN KILTS, FELLOWSHIP!" at Stirling Bridge, I don't think Mel would have had much left to make a movie about.

    That's what I was responding to turpin. I can just imagine a whole group of people standing around yelling "Kiss my pleats!"

    But if they all painted their faces blue and waved their arms about it would be really scary.

    Motto - "In Kilts, Fellowship".
    Battle cry ... hmmm, we would need something that sounds good when yelled ... or chanted ... in English (majority language) and hopefully Gaelic as well ...
    What's Gaelic for "Kiss my kilted [body part one is situated upon while posting on XMarks]"?

    Oh Gary, the commode is not actually considered a body part!

    Probably better if they yelled in Gaelic.
