The Englishman greets, the Irishman sleeps, but the Scotchman gangs till he gets it.
-Scottish proverb
Is it true? Why it is so, if yes?

That's why such proverbs exist. Hope it is not hurting anybody. I have heard many of these people have become delicate and sensitive off late.

gang=go
You probably won't find that in a dictionary.
"The best laid plans of mmice and men aft gang agley" = often go astray.
All part of the service.-

Boycott is also Scottish I have heard. He used to bat whole day scoring very few runs. Do Scottish avoid risks?

That's rather general, but speaking for myself - NO, I tend to jump in feet first
it's scary sometimes and often foolish-

No English or Irish man or woman responded to this post, but you did. That speaks volumes. What could be reason they would have avoided discussion on such highly intellectual and anthropological topic?

I don't understand it. Don't understand the word "gang"
While you're quite keen to assume others aren't answering because they're not intellectual enough, howcome you don't know yourself?-
