The _NY Times_, May 15, 1999, Sec. A, p.27, col. 2 (part of a col. 1-6
article entitled "How I Kicked The Talk-Show-Guest Habit", by Debbie
Nathan) contains a slang item "Scotch" I had never encountered:
"A stretch limo! Scotch!"
Has anyone seen this use of "Scotch" before? Does anyone have any
idea about its origin?
******** Here is a bit more of the context in which it appears:
"...Soon I got an invitation from Sally Jesse Raphael's people. They
said audiences would appreciate my rational perspective.
"I should have known better, but I was flattered. Me, on national TV!
Plus, I lived in the boonies, and Sally offered a free trip to the East
Coast. I got there and a stretch limousine was waiting. A stretch limo!
Scotch!"
