Britisher
Subject of Parliament
Britisher is a slightly dated or informal term for a British person, used mainly by non-Britons.
Americans and Indians have used it more than the British themselves, who generally prefer Briton or simply British.
The word can sound old-fashioned or faintly humorous: The Britishers brought cricket to India.
