sassenach
"Sassenach" is a term used predominantly in Scotland and Ireland referring to an English person, often in a derogatory or contemptuous manner. Originating from the Scottish Gaelic term "Sasannach," translated directly, it means "Saxon." It reflects historical tension between the English and the Scottish/Irish, and is more broadly used to refer to anything that is not considered traditionally Scottish or Irish.
