John

Someone who comes from London, or more London way than wherever the user of the word is from. The recievers of the term are named johns because of the outside perception that everyone from london (males mainly) call each other "john" as a by-word for "mate or fellow." Heard in the East Anglia area in the populations with the regional dialect of English. Is used less often these days since most people in london are not the percieved cockneys that they once were since mass immigration to the city since the 1960s. Also people in East Anglia now commonly work in London and therefore now know better, and meeting a London is far more common than before.
