nickname
used as a nickname for a stereotypical Cape Bretoner CANADA
Because of the large Scottish settlement of this part of Nova Scotia, many people have the same last name: MacDonald, McKinnon, and so forth. Nicknames are common to distinguish family members with the same first name, too.“When a group of strikes raided the Company Store in 1925, a man named Mckinnon was injured when a box of biscuits fell from a top shelf and crushed his foot” (Mellor, 1983).
