The Knight Life by Keith Knight for September 19, 2015

Not mezcal?

Considering it is a tapeworm it should at least make your nauseaus – constantly.

“Scotch tape”— an ethnic slur, from when the original tape-manufacturers skimped on the adhesive, leading the users to call it Scotch tape: i.e., cheap. The mfr adopted the nickname. Outrage!

Although it is a trademarked brand name, Scotch tape is commonly used in the United States, Canada, Italy, Russia, Ukraine, Pakistan, Argentina and elsewhere as a generic term for transparent adhesive tape.[citation needed] The Scotch brand includes many different constructions (backings, adhesives, etc.) and colors of tape.

The use of the term Scotch in the name was a pejorative meaning “stingy” in the 1920s and 1930s. The brandname Scotch came about around 1925 while Richard Drew was testing his first masking tape to determine how much adhesive he needed to add. The bodyshop painter became frustrated with the sample masking tape and exclaimed, “Take this tape back to those Scotch bosses of yours and tell them to put more adhesive on it!”23 The name was soon applied to the entire line of 3M tapes.

Scotty McTape, a kilt-wearing cartoon boy, was the brand’s mascot for two decades, first appearing in 1944.4 The familiar tartan design, a take on the well-known Wallace tartan, was introduced in 1945.4
