So I'm reading Soul Music, by Terry Pratchett. And I'm trying (mostly successfully) to keep up with the pop-culture references. But here I'm stumped. Discssing the phenomenon of logo t-shirts, where people actually pay money to advertise products. The Discworld versions of these logo t-shirts are ChalKies, 12 the Scours, and Thyngs Done. Now, I've figured that the first refers to Calvin Kline, based on the C and K being capitalised. And the last is Nike's famous Just Do It slogan. But what is "12 the Scours" referring to? Any suggestions?
