I used to live in Scotland,
and I had sex with all the lonely Scottish girls who hardly ever got to visit their boyfriends in England.

I don't get it.

And neither does he, I suspect.

If it is a joke (and this is apeloverage we're talking about),
it's a bit convoluted. Where's the lie? He never had sex with the Scottish girls cause they were always off seeing their Scottish boyfriends? He never lived in Scotland? I am not wasting my time thinking about this in depth?

it's just a lie
like all those people you went to school with who asid they lost their virginity on holiday, when in actual fact they didn't lose it until they were 22, that night when their aunt was a bit drunk...

That's right.
Don't English people say this? It's apparently a cliche for Americans to have imaginary Canadian girlfriends.

Ah. The penny drops.
Now, I'm Scottish, so I wouldn't know if there's an English equivalent of the Canadian gf thing...but I suspect not. I think the closest thing in the British Isles is 'yeah, no, honest, she goes to The Other School*'

*all schools and universities in the UK come in rival pairs. Eton and Harrow or Oxford and Cambridge are just the most well known examples.

Yup Yup Yup
Had a mate called Duncan while I was at 2 Infantry Div in York who had an imaginary Scottish Girlfriend who no-one ever saw. Never thought to call him on it, till the day Duncan got pulled by the police while driving up the A64, while in the company of a Staff Sergeant from the Queens Regiment. They were both dressed as women, which proved a slight problem when asked for identification by plod. After this Duncan 'came out' and moved into a flat in town, where he is now known as Helen.

I stand corrected and faintly appalled.
Of course, the guy was apparently a loony, so could just be him.

I thought it was an attempted slur against Scots
and it was going to get out of hand when he was set upon by an angry ginger mob.
