Prisoner Of Mother England ...... I think ..... The ultimate origin may be in question, but I believe the current meaning is universal. A South Africaner explained to me that people of British ancestry who live in all the various British Commonwealth countries around the world universally dislike their mother nation of Great Britain for the way they were treated and looked down upon by native Brits while still part of the Empire. There are also many theories on the ultimate origin of "Yank" and multiple current meanings, some disparaging and some not.
