Old ___ (motherland, affectionately)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sod

(Other definitions for sod that I've seen before include "Piece of turf; a Law named for him" , "Lump of turf or unpleasant person" , "Piece of ground with a mat of grass" , "A lump of turf (3)" , "Piece of peat or grass" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
