Dic Siôn Dafydd

Dic Siôn Dafydd ([dɪk ʃoːn ˈdavɨ̞ð], "Dick [son of] John [son of] David") is a pejorative term for Welsh people who disdain the culture of Wales and become Anglophiles instead. The term was coined by Welsh poet John Jones in his satirical ballad Cerdd Dic Siôn Dafydd to mock Welsh people who moved to England and adopted its culture in order to ingratiate themselves with the English. It is used today as a political insult.
