  Uh, I would NEVER turn this friendly list into a political debate,
  ( I PROMISE!!)
  but I have to ask since it was mentioned. Isn't "limey" a derogative
  term for British people, like mick to Irish, etc....??

  I know it has something to do with being out to sea...The War ??
  
  I don't know...I always had the impression that it was like calling
  a Black guy....well, you know.

  JUST being curious again..
