Sasanach
An old Irish word that refers to an Englishman in a slightly derogatory way. It likely originates from the word sasana, which refers to the Saxon people.
The term receives almost no use worldwide anymore, but is most frequently used by Scottish nationalists who want to completely break away from the UK. The usage of the term serves to accentuate a divide between the two people.
