In plain English: An Anglo is someone who has British ancestry, especially when used to describe people of white European descent living outside Britain or as part of their own identity.

"The anglos at the coffee shop were arguing about which sports team to support."

Usage: Use "Anglo-" as a prefix to form compound words like Anglo-Saxon rather than standing alone, where the full term is typically required. When referring specifically to people from England in modern contexts, prefer the noun "English" unless discussing historical groups or specific cultural identities.
