A Yoon is someone who opposes Scotland becoming a country independent of England and Wales and Northern Ireland.
There are, obviously, arguments for and against Scottish independence (in the referendum seven years ago fifty-five per cent of Scottish voters were against independence) but calling your opponents by silly names isn't going to win them round, so it's really best avoided.
It is good for convincing yourself you're superior to those who think differently from you, though.
Sunday Rest: Yoon. Yoon is short for Unionist (that is, someone who supports the United Kingdom). The word union comes from the Latin ūnīo, oneness, from ūnus, which means one.
