Petronilla de Grandmesnil, Countess of Leicester ( 1145 – 1212) was the wife of Robert de Beaumont, 3rd Earl of Leicester, known as "Blanchmains" (d. 1190). After a long widowhood, she was buried in Leicester Abbey after her death on 1 April 1212. The chronicler Jordan Fantosme wrote that Earl Robert and his wife Petronilla were participants in the 1173–1174 rebellion of Henry "the Young King" against King Henry II, his father. Jordan claimed that Earl Robert participated because of grievances against King Henry and credits dismissive remarks about the English who were fighting on the king's side to the countess: "The English are great boasters, but poor fighters; they are better at quaffing great tankards and guzzling.""Jordan Fantosme’s Chronicle", ed.

Numerous weather stations along that typical path provide reports that are used for predictions in advance of storms moving eastward.

Before the American Revolution, the term was applied by the English, as a derogatory epithet for the non-elite settlers of the southern backcountry. This usage can be found in a passage from a letter to the Earl of Dartmouth, "I should explain ... what is meant by Crackers; a name they have got from being great boasters; they are a lawless set of rascals on the frontiers of Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, who often change their places of abode." Most European Southerners today are of partial or majority English and Scots-Irish ancestry.David Hackett Fischer, Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America, New York: Oxford University Press, 1989, pp.633–639 In previous censuses, over a third of Southern responders identified as being of English or partly English ancestry with 19,618,370 self-identifying as "English" on the 1980 census, followed by 12,709,872 identifying as Irish, 11,054,127 as Afro-American, and 10,742,903 as German.

"Gossip in the New Testament." The New Testament in Cross-Cultural Perspective. Eugene: Cascade Books. Of course, this does not mean that there are not numerous texts in the New Testament that see gossip as dangerous negative speech. Thus, for example, the Epistle to the Romans associates gossips ("backbiters") with a list of sins including sexual immorality and with murder: > :28: And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God > gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not > convenient; :29: Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, > wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, > deceit, malignity; whisperers, :30: Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, > proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, :31: > Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, > implacable, unmerciful: :32: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they > which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have > pleasure in them that do them.
