limey

A colloquial term used to address or mock british sailors, as they commonly sucked on limes to prevent scurvy. When scurvy was realised to be a common killer on long sea voyages, it was discovered soon after that fruit with a high citrus content would prevent this. The reason they chose limes in particular is that they were cheaper than oranges, and much more appealing in taste than lemons.
Sailor1: Lookit' that guy! Limey bastard.
Sailor2: What, you'd rather suck on lemons instead?

limey

Originally a nickname given to British sailors who sailed across the Atlantic and sucked on limes to keep scurvy away.
It is now often used by Americans in two scenarios
1.) When referring to a British person, possibly in a form of endearment.
2.) Referring to 'British stereotype' (usually in an insulting way) but the insult is not specifically reserved for the British.
Ex:
"Met a limey at the airport today."

Person 1: The people down south are so uneducated.
Person 2: Oh shut it, you're starting to sound like a limey.

"Met a British person today who was acting like a real limey."

Person 1: Here's a picture of me before I got braces.
Person 2: Oh wow, you look just like a limey!

Person 1: I prefer tea over coffee.
Person 2: Oh no, you're turning into a limey.

"You limeys are too polite!"

limey

Semi-derogatory word directed towards people of british origin. Used the same way yankee or yank is used to insult americans. Does not always imply a specific political view, as most americans find the british annoying anyway.
