A term used to call someone gay, usually towards Scottish people.
This term is often used with the classic Scottish sarcasm. Therefore, this can be a friendly greeting as well as an insult. The same way Scottish people call each other âcuntsâ all the time as a friendly greeting.
Using this with the intent as a homophobic insult in Scotland could potentially be perceived as a hate crime under the Hate Crime & Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021.
However, using it as a sarcastic greeting among normal friends is just part of the classic Scottish banter.
Friendly Greeting (In Sarcastic Scottish Accent):
âHowâs it going ya filthy haggis packer?â
Insult (Homophobic Tendencies):
âFuck off ya filthy haggis packer!â
âSuck me aff ya disgusting haggis-packing bastard!â
