Just wondering, have you guys ever heard of a "joskin"?

Never heard of anyone named that. I do know a Jostin

It sounds like an abominable hybrid of a Jostin and a chicken.

It means like a farmer, or someone from the countryside. A bit like a hillbilly. I just wanted to know if anyone else had heard the term. I'm not even sure if people in the rest of the UK use it.

Definition According to Urban Ditionary:

North-Walian term used in both English and Welsh to describe anyone from a rural or farming background. It is used both affectionately and in a derogatory way depending on the audience.

Like many such terms it has been reclaimed by out and proud "joskins".

Definition According to HackerOnHacker:

Oh, so it is just a term used locally. I thought the country used it.

Don't spread it, inject it…wench.

This thread delivers. I lol'd!

I'll admit, when I first saw this thread I thought Jostin and Skankin had combined somehow.

This, you mean?

Unfortunately, yes.
