James BoagIt's actually bad luck to say MacBook inside an office. You have to call it 'the Scottish Laptop'
Z O R A N G R B I C@JamesBoag A wott ? Scottish laptop. I feel stupid. What does it mean?
Caledonia 🏴@zorangrbic @JamesBoag Scottish names are known to begin with Mac (or in my case Mc 😬). It’s a play (not Macbeth) on words. Get it now? 😉
KB@Caledonia @zorangrbic @JamesBoag
It's a bit more than that. There's a superstition in theatre that Shakespeare's play Macbeth should never be referred to by name, but rather as 'The Scottish Play'. Hence 'The Scottish Laptop'.
Sadly, explanation always spoils the joke, which I enjoyed. 🙂

@decembr14 @zorangrbic @JamesBoag I understood the reference just thought it needed an explanation re our names. My bad 🤦🏻♀️
