Like humans some countries and their people have their distinctive nicknames and each of them deserve some attention. Thus, _____1____ is the oldest known name of the island of Great Britain. Today, it is still sometimes used poetically
to refer to the island or England in particular. It is also the basis of the Scottish Gaelic name for Scotland, Alba.
The term _____2_____ is a colloquialism which is variously construed either to refer to Australia and New Zealand, or Australia alone. The term comes from the fact that these countries are located in the southern hemisphere, 'below' many other countries on the globe.
According to Roger Ebert's tongue-in-cheek Glossary of Movie Terms, there is a certain rule saying that "No film set in Australia is allowed to use the word Australia in its title where the colloquialism is an acceptable alternative. For example, we don't get The Rescuers in Australia or Quigley in Australia."
The ___3_____ is a national symbol of New Zealand, and the association is so strong that the name of this bird is used all over the world as the colloquial name for New Zealanders. _____4_______ is Australian slang for an Australian. In Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Canada and Ireland, the word is pronounced with a /z/ sound; however, in the United States, it is most often pronounced with an /s/ sound. The term ____5______ (sometimes shortened to Yank) has several interrelated meanings, referring to people from the United States. Outside the US it is used to refer to people from the US in general, whereas within the US it refers to people originating in the northeastern US, or still more narrowly New England, where application of the term is largely restricted to descendants of the English settlers of the region. “______6___” is a popular American song. Although not a folk song at its creation, the song has since entered the American folk vernacular. The song likely cemented the word "Dixie" in the American vocabulary as a synonym for the Southern United States. "____7________" is a racial descriptor for Native Americans and one of the color metaphors for race used in North America and Europe since European colonization of America. The term ______8_____ has both geographical and linguistic associations. Geographically and culturally, it often refers to working class Londoners, particularly those in the East End. Linguistically, it refers to the form of English spoken by this group. ____9________ is a national personification of Britain in general and England in particular, especially in political cartoons and similar graphic works. John Bull originated in the creation of Dr John Arbuthnot in 1712, and was popularized first by British print makers. Arbuthnot created Bull in his pamphlet Law is a Bottomless Pit (1712). ______10_______ is a term for a common soldier in the British Army that was already well established in the 19th century, but is particularly associated with World War I. It can be used as a term of reference, or as a form of address.
