I've got a good friend who grew up in England and he always uses
that word. It certainly doesn't bother him even though he was a
limey. Maybe the ones here do take offense though. I don't know.

Really nothing offensive meant with the term. British sailors of
old ate limes to prevent scurvey on long sea voyages. Back then,
the French were called "frogs" just because their green uniforms
were about frog color to someone.
