I had never heard the word 'anorak' used that way before. Thank you for enlightening me.
Anorak
1. A kind of heavy jacket
2. Someone considered boring because of their obsessive hobby or narrow solitary interests

My understanding is that the second meaning (which my wife agrees with in full) comes from train spotters in the UK who would wear their anoraks whilst in the field.
Of course, Scotch being an obsessive hobby could also just be called alcoholism... but that's a entirely different comment thread :-)
