Kneelers
From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
Kneelers are what the free folk call the people South of the Wall. It is a derogatory name. In Westeros kneeling is a position of submission.
Beyond the Wall the Free Folk kneel for no man. Unlike the free folk the kneelers are subject to lords and kings. The free folk view the kneelers as lacking freedom, whereas the people of the Seven Kingdoms view the "wildlings" as savage, lawless and primitive killers, rapists and thieves.
Quotes
