No Saxons in the north - Northumbria - north of the Humber - inhabited by Danes, celts, Picts, general naredowells, chancers and rakes etc

Dude it took me 9 lifespans to finally realize that's "ne'er-do-wells"

That sounds interesting where did you go in your nine lifetimes before working out my dodgy spelling

Nine lifetimes? Must be a cat

Might take that long for a cat to learn to write

NorseX sounds like a Nordic Musk project

Sounds like the dog whistle turning into a bullhorn to me

Sussex, Essex, and Middlesex all have the sex word in them which makes 21st century people giggle

Made worse if you know the traditional divisions of Sussex that predate the Norman Conquest.

sussex and other places like essex and middlesex have some suffix that signifies "town" or something, presumably in anglo-saxon

The name Essex originates in the Anglo-Saxon period of the Early Middle Ages and has its root in the Anglo-Saxon (Old English) name Ēastseaxe ('East Saxons'), the eastern kingdom of the Saxons who had come from the continent and settled in Britain.

Sussex is my favorite kind of sex.

Really it's Wessex that's been done dirty here isn't it? A whole kingdom, to nothing.
