Was also used by Highlanders as a word for Lowlanders, which included at the time anyone from the Central belt of Scotland downwards.

A guy I used to work with called Londoners Blundernors due to the fact they are all thick as pigs ****
I thought it was quite inventive as he was a Geordie!

Sassenach is Gaelic for Saxon (as in Anglo-Saxon). The Welsh use Saesen to mean the same thing although these days the term is used indiscriminately for anyone English.
