Thread Name: BS: The 'liberal' paradox
Subject: RE: BS: The 'liberal' paradox
Modern usage: any Scot who loses something is Scottish. Any Scot who wins something is British. Examples:

"The British women's curling team won gold in the 2002 Winter Olympics."

"The Scot Andy Murray once more failed in his Wimbledon bid."

Easy!
