A word Americans use to describe an English or British person. Comes from when British sailors used to eat limes to avoid scurvy. Although some entries have described the phrase as derogatory, it's really not that offensive at all, certainly nothing like the N-word, for example. It depends on the context, if the American uses it affectionately, the Briton should have no reason to be offended. If the American uses it while hurling abuse and expletives at the Briton, than their whole tone is what's offensive rather than the use of the word "limey".
American: Hey there limey, how's it going in England?
Englishman: Fine thanks, are you alright?
Cab Driver: What, no tip? You cheap limey cocksucker!
Englishman: Well in Britain we don't tip EVERYONE, you Yank twat!

Get the Limar mug.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.

Get the limey mug.When your dime bitch surprises you with a quick blow Job and your wiener is so limp that she can twirl it around in her mouth like a jump rope. To maintain limpy status for as long as possible it’s helpful to think about the affects of the corona virus on your used to be thriving business. If your lucky you can keep your limp wiener in her mouth for at least 30 seconds of pure bliss. When your limpy reaches 20% chubby the limpy is over and you go back about your day.
My wife surprised me with 10 limpies today. It gave me a quick energy boost like drinking 10 diet cokes through the day except without the aspartame. My wife likes the limpy because the Total time in mouth, TTIM, is less the a single blow job from start to finish. No clean up or swallowing is also a plus.
