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]
