I was just wondering whether anyone had come up with a name for Scotland’s vote for independence - and it looks like they have , Scexit!
Are people using it in Scotland as commonly as people were using the therm Brexit?
If you like in Scotland, do you like/dislike the term?

… saw the title, thought the thread was going to be those poor brexiteers gone sceptical.
Hi
A term already in use on certain science media.
I saw the title and thought it was a link to a naughty website

I’ve watched most of those websites, but not the one you’re referring to. Has it a speciality?

Doesn’t hurt a campaign to have a catchy name that may or may not be associated with one of Primus’ specialist websites…

I thought the portmanteau word “Brexit” was ugly enough - “Scexit” sounds even uglier!
For some reason, it conjures up an image of an unsightly skin infection, like scabies -
I suppose if you pronounce it with a soft “c” it sexes it up a bit. - although that still sounds nauseating, in a nudge, nudge, wink, wink manner!
I think I’ll stick to calling it Scottish Independence!

It does sound like some medical term for a rather nasty skin condition

Never heard it called anything other than Indyref 2 in Scotland.
