Used by Europeans, especially from central & eastern Europe, to describe a passive aggressive person who wants to say "no" to a proposition but is either too embarrassed or feeble to come right out with it, so drags things out until you get bored and/or get the message. Based on the alleged characteristic of the English who drift away from parties without really saying "goodbye"

Etymology is obvious.
Noun:
A person who claims to be of Scottish, Irish, or Welsh descent but who fervently defends (shills for) England. Usually this is a result of them sharing English ancestry or being majority English. In other words, "Crypto-English". Compare "no true scotsman".
Singular is "Crypto-Englishman", plural is "Crypto-English", also "Crypto-Englishmen". "Crypto-Angloid" can also be used if you're feeling a tad bit ruder than usual.

"Charles is a tad bit of a Crypto-English twat."
"She walked into the Scottish Tory party meeting, only to be faced with a bunch of Crypto-Englishmen".
