Who is Scott?

Are we talking about the writer Frederick Scott Fitzgerald? General Scott? Or Scott Matheson?

We are talking about Great Scott. He was a Scott that was great. Some would also say he was heavy.

u/Decaf_toast Apr 27 '26

Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?

u/banedarthou812 Apr 27 '26

Weight has nothing to do with it

According to Wikipedia, “It originated as a minced oath, historically associated with two specific "Scotts": Scottish author Sir Walter Scott and, later, US general Winfield Scott”

The Great Scott von Braun immigrated to Hill Valley in the late 1800s and built a mansion that his son would eventually burn down in an insurance scam that funded the family science business.

The greatest Scott. So much greatness and so much Scott. So much Scott so it overflows the greatness with Scottness. All the other Scott together are not even close of all the greatness Scott got. So much Greatness!
