All the great bits of Great Britain aren't English, but the Welsh do come out with some pervy bastards. Like, many rural people shag sheep, but the Welsh did it enough to get the name for it.

lmao I've never seen someone seriously claim the Welsh are actually more inclined to bestiality than any other people, it's just banter that came from the fact there is more rural land and especially sheep pastures by percentage in Wales than in England which gave rise to a perception and what some may title a 'slur'

Similarly Australian's also use 'sheep shagger' as a term for New Zealanders, likely because they also have more pastoral sheep grazing land compared to them(by percentage)
