Are you a Johnny Bull?  My grandmother explains this depression era saying and Jersey Joe tracks it’s origin.

THE 411

Name: Johnny Bull or John Bull

What: term used for a rich British person

Used: 17th century – 20th century

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

An interesting term from British and American past that is rarely used.  It shows the early power of the media as the term migrated across the sea and was spread around in the US via newspapers.
