Shakespeare started it …
Its an English derogatory name for the Welsh, probably be cause the nearest river to England is the Taff, on which Cardiff is situated.We hates it!
Did you know that Gollum is Welsh? I have a CD with Tolkien reading from The Hobbit and LOTR.
Tooks are Scots, Sam Gamgee sounded west country and Gollum was definitely Welsh.
