Baaaaa humbug

I spoke to my cousin on Friday, who lives in Pontypridd South Wales. He works at the weekends in a travel agency that specialises in weekend breaks, which means he gets to travel about the country and parts of Europe. When I asked him how people respond to him, mostly because he is very young, he says the only thing that ever stays the same is someone will always make the noise of a sheep around him. The term of endearment is affectionately ‘sheep shagger’. How charming.
What is the thought process of this comedic eruption - The sheep noise? I don’t understand the thinking behind it.
Someone thinks - “I will do my best to pretend to be a sheep."
Either you are a sheep playing a very risky game...or you are an Englishman pretending to be sheep, playing I think, a much riskier game.
The mind boggles.
Good luck to him anyway, his career is soaring!
