Subject: [Sca-cooks] Re: online glossary -scotch

[Bethra Spicewell]

Greetings
 In my vocab, 'to scotch' means to be no longer doing something,
usually because of a bad thing happening, i.e. "I scotched my latest
project"  I think it may come from scorch, as in badly burnt. If it's
burnt (or fubar-ed) there's no sense in continuing.
  My grandpa used the same word to mean 'make into small bits' I
remember him saying something like "scotch up the bread", meaning make
crumbs of it - no idea where it comes from. My Grandma (his first wife)
was Scots, but I don't think that had anything to do with it.
