Get the limm mug.Yes, Britain may have had its day in the 'whole world' picture, but - we do know where the USA is, how many states it has and are generally up-to-date with the names of the major political players. 2 Questions for our American cousins: 1. How many counties are in England? 2. Can you define the difference between; Great Britain, United Kingdom and British Isles?

Get the limey mug.Someone from Britian. Comes from the fact that British sailors would suck limes to prevent Scurvey.
Though in response to AimiaC the philistinic yank who wrote a definintion of limey before, really, you must learn to spell British before you insult them. Why do you call public toilets a bathroom when there is no bath in it? Clearly you have never been to the nicer ends of Newcastle or Liverpool where you're more likely to have a pipe shoved up your arse than speak like there's one up there. Bizzaire that the most popular food in the UK is curry when our tastes are so bland.
I'm not patriotic, I just dislike someone who sounds like they never moved out of their mothers insulting a country which is clearly better than theirs.

Get the limey mug.A term of abuse when used by non-limeys, but to a limey himself a compliment.
Based on the fact that British sailors were the first to use citrus fruit, commonly lime-juice being the most readily available from colonies in the West Indies, as an anti-scorbutic years before it was adopted by other sea-going nations.
Captain Cook used it for his crews on his various circumnavigations before 1779, yet American sailors still succumbed to scurvy during the War of 1812
