another old-timey (double-)ethnic slur

[Laurence Horn]

I'm familiar with the stereotypes of stinginess traditionally
associated with both Scots and Jews, but this casual remark still
took me slightly aback in its combo effect:

"She's got a stack of money and the meanness of fifty thousand Scotch
Jews rolled into one."

--Dorothy L. Sayers, _The Nine Tailors_ (1934)
