List Of British Regional Nicknames
In addition to formal demonyms, many nicknames are used for residents of the different settlements and regions of the United Kingdom. For example, natives and residents of Liverpool are formally referred to as Liverpudlians, but are most commonly referred to as Scousers (after their local dish). Some, but not all, of these nicknames may be derogatory -especially those exchanged by post-industrial towns too close to each other. Many derive from sports clubs, especially football ones. Involved demonyms tend to attract offensive parodies, for example "Bumholian" for "Dundonian" (an inhabitant of Dundee). Owing to the oral nature of the tradition, much of it (but not all) lower-class, citations are haphazard. A - B ; Aberdeen : Aberdonians (demonym), Dorics, Donians ( Aberdeen F. C. football team are nicknamed The Dons), Sheep-shaggers (pejorative) ; Abingdon-on-Thames : Abos ; Accrington : Akkies, Ringpieces (pejorative) ; Acle : AssesNotes and Queries Vol 7 1853 p. 452 ; Aldebur ...

Isaac Eastie
Isaac Eastey (November 27, 1627 – June 11, 1712) was the English-born husband of Mary Eastey, who was executed during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 in North America. Isaac and Mary were both highly respected members of the Salem Village Church, and the community in general. Isaac played a significant role in the witch trials, which is often overlooked in history. Despite being one of the primary reasons for Mary's accusation, he desperately tried to clear his wife's name and put an end to the trials altogether. Early life Isaac was born in Freston, Suffolk. He had been a highly prosperous farmer throughout his life, which resulted in a large and upscale home with a generous owning of land and property. Isaac Eastey, along with his brother-in-law Jacob Towne, were lifelong enemies of the Putnam family (who were later the main accusers in the witch trials). The tension between the two powerful families originated with bitter warfare over the ownership of woodland. Isaac and J ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
