I learned a new word, today:

Sassenach: an English inhabitant of the British Isles: used, often disparagingly, by the Gaelic inhabitants.

Thank you, sir.

Yeah, I think it originally literally meant “Saxon”.

I’m glad to have been a positive factor in your edification, sir. Creative cursing is a side effect of my Irish heritage.
