It is a term that refers to an Irishman and originated from a group set up in the 1800s called the "Fenian Brotherhood", who aimed to achieve Irish independence. Brits use it sometimes as a derogatory term for the Irish who instead take it as a compliment. In modern times in Scotland, rangers fans call Celtic fans "fenian" and some Scottish people believe the term refers to Roman Catholics, but this is incorrect. In recent years, in n.Ireland (n.irland is irish land thats still occupied by britian.). Unionists have used the term "fenian" to try to insult Irish. Due to the vast majority of unionists being protestant and vast majority of Irish being catholic, some unionists now use the term to refer to any catholic, but again this is incorrect use.
