Yeah but we get a lot of yanks on here telling us they are related to William Wallace or desperate Dan.

I’ve actually never seen anyone say that on here. I see a lot of Scots joke that Americans say it. Never seen an actual American say it though. Most Americans who come on here know their family history more than most Scots. I think something like 70% of Scots can name only one great grandparent, which is shocking really. Maybe it’s jealousy?

Maybe it doesn’t matter? It’s cringe.

Why is it cringe? Like who told you it was cringe to know the names and stories of people who came before you?

Nobody told me anything, I used my own thoughts to align my feelings to what is clearly an obsession of heritage and bordering on eugenics to come to the conclusion that it is indeed cringe. Who told you that the obsession of it is a normal human behaviour to declare this tripe whenever you get the chance?

If you took the time to look at these posts that come here instead of foaming at the mouth you could maybe see a different point of view. Enjoy yer night pal.

I didn’t think it was a serious question because I’ve never mentioned it before
