Noun
[edit]Gibraltarian (plural Gibraltarians)
- A native or inhabitant of Gibraltar.
- 2013 August 14, Simon Jenkins, The Guardian[2]:
- The idea of a British warship supposedly menacing Spain is ludicrous. Is it meant to bomb Cadiz? Will its guns lift a rush-hour tailback in a colony that most Britons regard as awash with tax dodgers, drug dealers and right-wing whingers? The Gibraltarians have rights, but why British taxpayers should send warships to enforce them, even if just "on exercise", is a mystery.
