Note: What the hell is a Limey anyways? Where did the phrase come from? For that matter where did Yankee come from? I see a googling in my very NEAR future lol. EDIT I: Got limey: Limey is an old American and Canadian slang nickname for the British, originally referring to British sailors. The term is believed to derive from lime juice referring to the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy practice of supplying lime juice to British sailors to prevent scurvy. The benefits of citrus juice were well known at the time thanks to the acute observations of surgeon James Lind who noticed that the cabbage-eating Dutch had fewer problems with scurvy. Limes replaced lemons due to limes being more readily available from Britain's own Caribbean colonies. Lemon juice was reintroduced after scurvy again became a problem due to lime juice lacking sufficient vitamin C. The term is thought to have originated in the Caribbean in the 1880s. A false etymology is that it is a derivative of "Corr-blimey" ("God blind me!"). I knew that about the scurvy thing, just not that it is where the name came from. Makes sense though since Great Britain (an island Country duh) made and established it's place in the World as the greatest naval power until WE surpassed you lol. We didn't do that til either WWI or WWII, and only then because you were at war and we had greater natural resources to rely on at the time. EDIT II: Ok, this one was WAY to long to copy/paste. Yeah I know, we yanks are always difficult. Click the wiki link and scroll down to origins and history of the word. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankee |
