Scottish slave owners later exported the tradition from the home of TV's Glaswegian "street philosopher" Rab C Nesbitt to America, which was developed by black inner-city youths in the 1970s. US academic Professor Ferenc Szasz said: "The Scots have a lengthy tradition of intense verbal jousting that is often laced with vulgarity. It's similar to music found among inner-city African-American youth. - The Sun​
