A violent or menacing character on British television, especially if a raving drunk or a mad homeless man, is likely to have a Glasgow accent, since Glaswegian is a very good accent and dialect for uttering threats. The character often uses headbutts (also called "The Glasgow Kiss"), knees in the crotch and other unsportsmanlike fighting methods. The "Angry Scotsman" occasionally makes an appearance in American media, (though the Irish sometimes get a similar treatment, since as far as the Hollywood Atlas is concerned, they all come from Scotireland anyway).
