| The
Mackintosh family motto is "Touch not the cat bot a glove",
an expression which sounds to us about as close to complete "tosh"
as it's possible to get.
Wot's a bot? Not a jot of a clue. Utter bish bosh.
It probably means "without", but "bot"
it is, so there you have it, a completely bum steer.
The tosh from which the Mackintosh name is derived
though, is "toisech" meaning "leader" or "chief".
This much we know.
You are the leader of the gang.
But then, so too was celebrity sex-offender Gary
Glitter.
Which brings us disturbingly back to bots again,
and suggests you're probably a very dodgy character indeed.
