Fenian

Fenian is a general term used since the 1860s for an Irish nationalist who espouses violence. It can also specifically refer to the Fenian Brotherhood.

It is also used in Northern Ireland as a general derogatory term for Catholics. This usage can also be found in Glasgow, particularly during Old Firm football matches.
