Scotty is my favorite TOS Star Trek character (as if you couldn't tell from my avatar).
"Laddie, I was drinking Scotch a hundred years before you were born. And I can tell you that whatever this is, it is definitely not Scotch."

Thank you! I love the English language so much more than its component parts.

Fans of the Star Trek 'universe' have some shorthand acronyms when referring to the different series, characters, episodes, etc.
TOS - The Original Series
TNG - The Next Generation (the second television series, started 1987)
DS9 - Deep Space Nine - the spinoff series from TNG
Scotty's kilt wearing was discussed on XMTS in this thread. In summary, he rarely wore it, he had a fly plaid, and it was in the Scott Black and White tartan.
To continue with the Scotty quotes:
From TOS episode ‘By Any Other Name’
Scotty: [Trying to drink Tomar - a Kelvan crew member attempting to take over the Enterprise - under the table, Scotty enters, a bit tipsy, with a bottle of green liquid] I found this in the ganner room... ganner...
Tomar: What is it?
Scotty: It's, [looks for a label]
Scotty: uh, [looks under the bottle; sniffs it]
Scotty: ... It's green.

The same scene was redone in TNG with Data and Scotty in Ten Forward. Only Data is says "It's green." I love how each series pays tribute to the past.
Jump to around 1:45 to see the same scene.
