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.
