The news comes as a blow to Lafcad's older brother Andrew, the
coolest head in the family, who is embarking on a campaign for
state auditor and doesn't think another blot on the escutcheon
will do much for his chances.
-- Charles Isherwood, Moonlight and Muddle for a Loopy New
Orleans Family in 'Ridiculous Fraud, New York Times, May 15,
2002
Being drunk, disorderly and violent merits a crack on the head
with a truncheon, a night in chokey and a blot on your
escutcheon.
-- Ed West, Don't blame drinkers -- it's the problem drinks,
Daily Telegraph, July 22, 2003
by 1480, from Old North French escuchon, variant of Old French
escusson, from Latin scutum "shield"
