A term used in Scotland to describe the English. Derogative in a sort of in a tounge and cheek way.

The word is used mostly between some Scottish people to describe the English.
When they do come into contact with an English person they may try to tell them that they are sassinacks. However most English people cannot understand the Scottish therefore, using a word like sassinack in conversation usually increases the look of bewilderment.
