Traditionally, it was a derogatory term used in Ireland to describe anyone who believes British/English culture was superior to their Irish
counterparts. In recent times, it has been used in
Wales as in the same derogatory way to describe British/English culture/politics over
the Welsh counterparts.

Brits (sometimes but not necessarily with Irish ancestry) who live or frequently holiday in Ireland and who love Ireland, the Irish and the Irish Celtic culture - often adopting Irish expressions, mannerisms and accents - and also often to the point of wishing/imagining that they were/are actually Irish, or at least more genelogically so. Not to be confused with any derogatory meaning for the
snobbery of a belief in any Brit/
anglo superiority.
