nationality nicknames

[4winds]

I've just learned that a 'SWEATY / JOCK" is a Scottish person; I've heard a Welsh persons referred to as "TAFFY; Irish as "PADDY/ MICK". What is the equivalent term for an English person ?
And do these terms cause offence to the respective ethnic groups? ( I'm thinking of Prince Harry's recent remark.)
Thank you for any explanations.

Le franglais c'est la langue maternelle des vrais francophones. Nous autres anglophones n'en savons rien.

Hi Mallam. The term ''Giftzwerge'' was first used by the Mayor of Minden to describe the 1st Battalion Cameronians, who were stationed there in the early 1960s. If I remember correctly, it was their conduct in the town that resulted in the epithet.

What a mine of info you are, H. I think we may assume you do remember correctly, as our memories coincide in it having been the conduct of Scots in the early 1960s that resulted in the epithet. I am impressed that you name the 1st Battalion Cameronians in Minden as the fons et origo. That rings a faint bell, but I too am affllicted with total mnesia, and by the time I first became aware of the extent of the term it was much more widespread in terms of both Brit ethnicity and military or sporting affiliations, and the geographical spread of the lager-loutery. As you must be aware, it is still around in the less PC milieux.
