Cutty-sark (18th century Scots for a short chemise or undergarment) is a nickname given to Nannie Dee, a fictional witch created by Robert Burns in his 1791 poem Tam o' Shanter, after the garment she wore. In the poem, the erotic sight of her dancing in such a short clothing caused the protagonist Tam to cry out "Weel done, Cutty-sark", which subsequently became a well-known catchphrase. She gave her name to the tea clipper Cutty Sark, which featured her figurehead at the bow. A brand of Scotch whisky is in turn named for the ship.
