Clan MacMutt

[figheadair]

Right...I thought that was obvious to other folks. Perhaps "mutt" is much more widely used here in the States for someone who is of mixed ethnic heritage, in the same way that a mutt is a dog of mixed breeding. Perhaps the inherent humor / fiction is lost over the internet.

That being said, there IS a Clan MacBubba:

I must have become too americanised. I use it occasionally

Mutt is an Americanism, the equivalent term in the United Kingdom (in terms of meaning) is mongrel, which would probably be taken as an insult if applied to a person instead of a canine.
