House Jock

A Scottish person that has shaped their identity specifically for the approval of English people. They do this to further their careers in business and the media. A house jock will play up to certain stereotypes of Scottish people such as friendliness and drunkeness for the entertainment of an English audience. What they will never do is critique English culture, the monarchy or show support for Scottish independence. Deep down they are ashamed of themselves for playing this role or they have self loathing for being Scottish.

There are two subsections of House Jock:
1) Upper/ Middle Class: they have more in common with wealthy English people than they do working class Scottish people. They like Burns Suppers and Scotland Rugby but they benefit from unionism so remain subservient

2) Working class: They have ties to Rangers or Heart of Midlothian Football Clubs. They cling to the idea of a British identity, usually with support for the army or hatred towards the Irish. The idea of an independent Scotland severely threatens their identity

“Were you down in London for James’ wedding? How was it”

“Yeah it was alright, all his work mates were there though so he was acting weird”

“Oh no not the house jock routine”

“Yep, every story was about drinking
