Today, at work, I was talking to a Scottish woman when my coworker and I both told her we were also Scottish. To this she replied, "We Scottish people get around." I then said, "Tell me about it, I'm one of four siblings from my dad, he definitely gets around." She was talking about travel. FML

I'm part Scottish. Does this mean I only get around a bit?

Why do Scottish men wear kilts? Because the sheep can hear a zipper from a mile away.

^ Hey, man. Don't mess with the Scottish. You tend to get real tough when you live in a country where the thistles are waist high and no one's invented trousers.

I thought about travel right away. But I have an innocent mind.

Foot-in-mouth situation right here. Haha! FYL, OP. Better luck next time. :)

Nothing. There's nothing about a foot fetish.

If they're wearing a kilt, doesn't a foot-in mouth scenario just make the situation more embarrassing? :p

Oh well. Don't worry too much, it was just a joke anyways. I'm sure she doesn't hate you.

Well, if she didn't react too badly to your response, you can ask her if she wants to do some good old fashioned caber-tossing :p

So, of course, your gut reaction was to assume she meant in terms of sex? I would at least hope she'd get to know you guys if she had been talking about sex, otherwise it would have been pretty brusque.

The phrase "get around" generally has to do with sex.

Actually, it is also generally used to mean traveling.

18 - I wouldn't say generally. My first thought was traveling, not sex.

I've never heard it used to describe travel. Maybe as in "what vehicle do you use to get around" once or twice but nothing else.

...My first thought was sex. So I can see how the Op made that assumption as well.

Your response made sense with you three all being Scottish. Maybe she just couldn't attest to your theory.
