Why?

I always thought "Limey's" was a slightly affectionate term
applied to British sailors due to their discovery of limes preventing
scurvy. If I've offended any British subjects for using this term, I
apologize.

He's a British baker with a USA name. Friend of Mary Barry, born in
UK, host (w/ Mary) of Great British Baking Show.
