It's not that I live a sheltered life but I don't frequent many nationalist sites even though I am a nationalist- they tend to have a bit too much flowery and "patriotic" rhetoric for my tastes. I have in fact seen the phrase used before- I'm aware that many Victorians self consciously styled themselves North Britons because they wanted to show their pride in Britain rather than Scotland but I always understood it be an archaic term and it's not one that I come across very often.
