If you've read the books it takes on a new meaning. Have to say I love that series!
It becomes and affectionate nick name but they first thought of Claire as a
"Sassenach", an Outlander, an outsider ignorant of Scottish Highland culture and one of the generally hated English as well. She begins to earn their respect with her work as a healer, though some think her a witch.
and eventually grow fond of her an use it more like a term of endearment.

Hi all, I had a look at the synopsis of the books, titled 'Cross Stitch' over here. Far too much chick lit for my tastes. From what I can gather it seems to be that this is a depiction of Scotland as accurate as Braveheart or Brigadoon.:up:

The name is disparaging and was used throughout my childhood as an insult.

An English person in Scotland could use the name as a self deprecating introduction as in, "oh I'm a sassenach".

It becomes and affectionate nick name but they first thought of Claire as a....... and eventually grow fond of her an use it more like a term of endearment.

Much as I call my wife (of 40 years) an old bat.:roflmao:

Actually, just thought of a more relevant idiom; Americans call us Limeys - can be an insult or a nickname.

Ceccia is a place in Corsica (an island near France and Italy, and one of the most beautiful places in the world.). Ceccia itself is an archaeological site, so that's kind of random, but hey there are a zillion people on allnurses so this is the first username i thought of that wasn't already being used by someone else!
