True Scotsman” is a humorous term used in Scotland for a man wearing a kilt without undergarments. Though the tradition originated in the military, it has entered Scottish lore as a rite, an expression of light-hearted curiosity about the custom, and even as a subversive gesture.
I was asked by a young man who worked for a bank was it true what a Scotsman wore under his kilt. He was a young urban professional in Papua New Guinea and was born three days walk from the nearest town, in the jungle amongst a tribe of head hunters as his forefathers had been before him. I replied what do you wear under your lap-lap, and he smiled and said yes, I understand. – BoB
