That's an interpretation on behalf of the compiler. It obviously comes from rage.
i see what you mean but it just kind of means "aggressive youth" so it is like "chav" but not chav meaning gypsy or whatever

Quote A is not 100% accurate.

How do you accidentally eat a communion wafer? Did it get mixed up with the biscuits or something?

I see
isn't the scottish term for quote A 'Jakey'? or is that just a weedgie term?

A Jakey is an alcoholic, esp. an alcoholic down and out.

Only if you are catholic. Protestants should only eat protestant communion wafers. If protestants have communion wafers, which I'm not sure they do.
Am I one of them.
I was joking!
Apart from about the highlander.

They certainly do - they're like little prawn crackers

As are the catholic ones. I was offering prawn crackers to my Irish friends when on holiday in Ireland, saying, ''body of christ, anyone?'' They laughed but then thought they might go to hell.
Well perhaps you do not get them in the presbyterian church. I don't know. My dad was relating what the catholic one was like, which makes me think he'd never had one before and I'm sure he has taken communion at some point or other. Anyway the priest said for the infidels to cross their arms acros their chests when they came up but my dad forgot.

Crackers are fun to eat, so I doubt the Presbytarians approve of them.

These also tend to be the sorts that have some mythic view of history, where Scotland was a noble land of kilt wearing Celts happly playing diddle dee music until the English ensalved them and then forced them to participate in the Empire.
Sadly Scottish history is just as murky, dirty, blood filled and nasty as that of the English

the OP didn't mention them being American....
My mum was from Aberdeen, and when I was a kid, we used to spend the whole of the school summer holidays with my auntie in Kincorth. I never ran into anti-English racism, but that might have been because my auntie and uncle were very popular and everybody knew I was their niece.
The only problem I've ever had was with Aberdeen people who couldn't understand my accent when it was still pure South London. But having lived in north Essex for nearly 30 years, my vowels have softened, and I don't even have that problem any more...

Some years ago I contributed to an article in The Sunday Times about this. It has always been my experieince that in Edinburgh there is a lot of anti-English feeling. This is not my experience in Glasgow. My wife, who is Scotish, but has lost her accent, says that she has noticed this too.
It seems that, again from my experience, that it is not just the less educated Scot, I have met a Scot and his wife, who are both well educated, to Masters level, who are both rampantly anti-English. My father and mother in-law both objected to my marrying their daughter on the grounds that I am English.
It doesn't surprise me that violence is now accompanying such thinking, what does shock me is that a man would do this to a woman. One wonders if he would have been brave enough to take the same violence to an English man.

That is the absolute truth.
When she was fourteen my niece moved from Hull to Grimsby, she was beaten up because she was from Yorkshire! Twats are everywhere.

Indeed.

I've always thought it was for lowlander and wikipedia says so too
It was very amusing to hear a Scottish nationalist use the term to describe an Englishman who then pointed out they both were, the nat being from Dumfries and all. Did. Not. Go. Down. Well.

Interesting, I'm not too clued up with Scots Gaelic and how they use it but Sasanach in Ireland definitely only refers to an English person.
