Jackeen
Jackeen is a mildly pejorative term for someone from Dublin, Ireland. The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as "A contemptuous designation for a self-assertive worthless fellow," citing the earliest documented use from the year 1840. ==Derivation and meaning==
The term is derived from a nickname for John (i.e. Jack) from the Union Jack (As Dubliners were considered the most English of all the Irish) combined with the Irish diminutive suffix "-een" (meaning little) 〔 (''-ín'' in Irish) found in many Irish female names such as Roisín ("little Rose") and Maureen (''Mairín'', "little Mary"). Today, Jackeen is often used to describe Dublin GAA players and supporters.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Jacks are back )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Reeling in the years )〕
