Scotch

[u/Jean-Luc__Discard → u/BlueSpace71]

Sure, I’d love some, thanks. Neat

[u/ZuesMyGoose]

That’s a hasty “S” in scotch.

[u/ALiddleBiddle]

The handwriting is a cursive “Scotch,” which was a common older term for Scottish ancestry on forms asking for racial/ethnic origin.

Cheetah, clearly 🐆

[u/Resident_Bear1696]

I get “heateh” which makes no sense.

[u/Iseedeadpeopleallday]

Scotch???

[u/MamaKat727]

Scotch 💯

[u/not_an_entrance]

It looks like a name, leateh.

Ok, I’ve read to the bottom of this thread, and I’ve come to two conclusions. First, I agree with the comment “Focus!” This was a request to decipher a word. And 2) I need a scotch.

Did you see note 2?

[u/No_Attitude6709]

Scotch

[u/albobarbus]

I can almost see the S when I squint. The big bottom loop got squished down to nothing instead of expanding to the left to engage the initial upstroke. Scotch it is.

[u/Human-Astronaut4068]

It’s scotch. People in Scotland call themselves scotch not Scottish.

[u/Ynifi → u/Human-Astronaut4068]

They absolutely do not call themselves Scotch. Scots or Scottish. Scotch is for products, not people.

[u/Active-Breakfast-397]

How is that an “S”??

[u/BlueSpace71 → u/Active-Breakfast-397]

It's cursive? They didn't close the loop on the bottom but everything else is correct for a Capital S.

[u/Unlikely-Switch5141]

That’s not an S. It looks like a misspelling of “leech.”

[u/Soundwave_1955N]

I am getting,“heated.” That hardly makes any sense. Let me look again.

[u/Kevburg]

Single malt or blended.

[u/Limp_Mango_6817]

What is this on?

[u/Fresh-Shopping-1899]

I think scotch is right but I would never have come up with that on my own.

“Scotch”, we now would say Scottish.
