OT:* English* Sheepshaggers?

[Sir Tim]

Okay guys, I've been doing a bit of research (I'm retired and got
nothing better to do):

When I was in the army the Black Watch (a famous *Scottish* regiment)
were known as the Sheep Shaggers.
There's also another Scottish connection. The Cairngorm Brewery
Company produce a beer called Sheepshaggers Gold:

The Urban Dictionary has:

"An insult hurled at New Zealanders, by Australians mostly. It is a
reference to the sheep prominence in New Zealand- ten sheep to every
person. sheep cant breed that fast on their own, so the 'sheep
shaggers' help"
OR
"A derogatory term for Welsh people used mainly by the English"

The only evidence I can find for the statement: "most countries in
Europe call and have always called the English sheep shaggers" is from
Germany:

but then there is also a German band called the Sheep Shaggers who
state that:

"A successful gig for The Sheep Shaggers is when the public is drunk,
the landlord richer and the band both." ;-)

Never looked it up, but I assumed that the English nicked the term from
the Aussies, to use at the Welsh, as Wales is to England sort of what
New Zealand is to Australia. Ie, the little country over there that has
lost of sheep.

But, before posting here, the only other times I've heard the term used
is by children. Oh, of course the animal shagging thing seems common
with less intelligent Americans referring to Arabs as goat or camel
shaggers. Still, the same people invented "sand nigger", so I guess it's
not the worst.

How does that relate back to the English?? It sounds like they are
talking about themselves.

Great band name though!!!

Although based in Berlin they apparently try to create:
"a typical British pub atmosphere including Bingo, CD-auction and
other jovialities."

I really think you Aussies should sort out the STDs before shagging
roos. Really, shagging them and leaving them with a disease is not on. I
mean, use a condom or something.

Your expertise in this matter is all I need.

That's very kind of you, but I would, of course, defer to your greater
knowledge and experience in such matters.
