They all also suck on limes. I was actually explaining the slur "limey" to a
student once, and told them that sailors sucked on limes to keep their
vitamin C levels up to combat the threat of rickets, and a student raised his
hand and asked what limes were: "are they a type of fish or something?" The
entire classed roared with laughter, as did I. I am being playful here, not
antagonistic. AEB can make a drunken Irish slur if he wants, and I'll take
it in good humor.
