Word famously used by British and American soldiers in world war two as an insult to German soldiers. What the soldiers didn't realise at the time was that 'krout' was actually (and still is) the German word for Cabbage, hence 'sour krout'.

I wonder what the German soldiers must have thought when they saw a Platoon of Allied troops running towards them with behonettes yelling 'CABBAGE!'
Allied soldiers - Die you Krouts!
German Soldiers - Are they hungry?

Word famously used by most English speaking nations in world war two as slang for Germans, because 'krout' is German for Cabbage, hence 'sour krout'. And German's who weren't directing the evil, were behaving like Cabbages. This follows a European trend of naming Peoples by their food they are famous for eating.. For example Frogs - French, and Le Rost Bif (roast beef) - British.
i suppose it would take a bunch of cabbages (krouts) to put up with Hitler for so long

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
