jock
Varsity letter wearer
A jock is an athlete, especially one who fits the stereotype of being more physically than intellectually inclined.
The term often carries connotations of popularity and social dominance in school settings: The jocks and cheerleaders ruled the cafeteria.
Jock comes from jockstrap, the athletic supporter.
In British usage, Jock is informal for a Scottish person.
