Pejorative? Don’t be silly. That’s offensive and insulting.
I’m just saying that you can’t be an apple and a watermelon at the same time because you cant be two different things at the same time.
Feels to me like you’re trying to pick a fight. If you are, then back off Jack.

Seriously, if I asked you whether you'd rather look like a Scot or a Canadian, how would that sound to you? Or to be clearer, a Highlander or a Canuck, eh?
Outside a handful of people who are current/former members of this forum, nobody in my personal circle of acquaintances would know what a Scottish buckle looks like. And a Texan/cowboy belt buckle ... that looks like a normal belt buckle to them. I'm much more concerned with "Does this look good?" rather than "Does this look Scottish?" or "Does this look Texan?"
And for the sake of clarification, I mean "Does this look good to the people who will be seeing it today?" My decision takes into account the fashion sensibilities of the people I'm around.
If people don't wear that type of buckle for casual, smart casual, or sporty wear in Scotland, that's useful information ... just in case I decide to wear a kilt the next time I'm in Scotland. In Texas, it's not generally altering my sartorial decisions.
