'''Scotty''' was the affectionate nickname given to the chief engineering in the [[Star Trek (original series)|original Star Trek television series]].  Going with the theme of diversity that [[Gene Roddenberry]] chose for his cast, Scotty was a [[Scottish|Scotsman]] and spoke with a Scottish accent.  Not being one of the main three characters, there wasn't as much character development for the role of Scotty and most of his interactions were semi-whiny statements that the engines were going to explode or the engines can't take much more of this.  A common line attributed to the series, but never actually uttered, was "Beam me up Scotty" which prompted a series of bumper stickers for cars. "Beam me up Scotty -- There's no intelligent life down here!"
