Stupid Northern Irish protestants who can't spell the word families but insist on spelling it familys.
Orangemen remember the battle of the boyne, fought in 1690. They have marched on the 12th of July for many hundreds of years commemorating the victory of William of Orange, a protestant Dutch prince, over the catholic, Scottish King James.
The only time in recent memory they did not march was during the two World Wars. The reason for this was because they didn't want the Brits to see that they were all hiding in their houses and to afraid to go to war and fight for their country. Unlike the catholics who signed up in large numbers to fight the Germans.

Dickhead who likes a dander with umbrella in hand, rain or shine. Doesn't believe in Evolution and ironically his existence poses a problem for the theory.
Speaks Ulstur-Skatch, or at least likes to think he does.
Got his arse felt at the Somme, and sat the next round out in the shipyards, not even marching in case someone noticed him and sent him to France.
He's permanently raging, and hates everyone who isn't of his ilk. In short, a fucknut.

Can we please have a non-biased definition?
A member of the Orange Order. A men's society centred around protestantism and the union of Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom. Also remembers the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, where William of Orange (hence the name) defeated James II. Has been critcized with having anti-Catholic beliefs.
There has also been great contreversy over marching rights. The Order claims that they can march on their traditional marching routes, though certain Catholic-dominated streets have complained due to the Order's (alledged) history of Catholic-Baiting.
Orangemen during their parades are known to wear old Victorian style suits with bowler hats and orange sashes.

An Orangeman is a man of the Protestant religion. He does not beat his wife or kids, but stands up against the dirty fenians that decided to be wankers and think that they shud be rite. Often wear an Orange sash, hench Orangeman.
#Sure I'm an Ulster Orangeman, from Erin's isle I came,
To see my British brethren all of honour and of fame,
And to tell them of my forefathers who fought in days of yore,
That I might have the right to wear, the sash my father wore!# The Sash Song, sang on July 12th.

Orangemen are decent Christian Protestants who originate from Ulster; now there are lodges across the world varying in ethnicity. The Grand Orange Lodge is split into smaller lodges in local areas for men of the surrounding village, town, or city to join. Each lodge has a designated band in which they walk behind in support of. The lodge host many colourful parades to commemorate those lost in battles and wars fighting for their faith and country, for example, one of the most well know days of celebration is the 12th of July when there are parades across the whole province in support of those men who fought against James for the religious freedom of the country; without them James wanted the whole of England and Ireland to be Catholic but thanks to the men who fought during the Batttle of the Boyne people had a choice. Another event they remember is the Battle of the Somme, which was a battle during the First World War where a significant amount of soldiers who were Ulster - Protestants died fighting for King and country; this was a truly tragic event for everyone in Britain, and both the North and South of Ireland. During big parades, the Orangemen organise a charity to collect for such as the Hospice or children's cancer research which is a big help to these charities.
Orangemen are often portrayed by the media to be something they are not, they are portrayed to be bigoted and disrupting peace when in fact they are the complete opposite.

"My dad is an Orangeman." said the young school boy excitedly, "he is arranging a fun day for the local charity and I am allowed to help, it is going to be so fun."

inbred bigoted fat bowler hat wearing protestant bastards who beat their wives and childern. these cunts claim to be 'holy' and 'pious' when trutly they are no better than the KKK. these inbreds also love to insult and annoy the good catholic people in the occupied six counties of the north of ireland with their annual marching through catholic areas. they cling to a distant memory of the battle of the boyne where the protestant william of orange defeated the good catholic king james in 1690. grow up lads its 2006.
