Lincolnshire people are colloquially known as "yellow bellies," a term that is thought to have originated during the English Civil War. One popular theory suggests it referred to the local soldiers who wore yellow bellied coats, while another links it to the local agricultural practice of using yellow clay for plowing, which would stain their bellies. The exact origin is unclear, but the term has come to be embraced as a regional nickname.
