Limey
This term was once used by American sailors when dealing with their British counterparts. However, there is a whole background to this. In 1795, the British Admiralty issued an order that all ships of the Royal Navy had to carry lemon juice against scurvy. This continued until the beginning of the 19th century, but then many captains began to resort to the cheaper lime juice. Now it was cheaper, but it also had less vitamin c, which encouraged the outbreak of scurvy, especially on longer journeys, so that more fresh vegetables had to be served at the same time, which drove up costs again. So the navy had to resort to lemon or lime juice with extra rations of food.

The merchant vessels were particularly affected by these savings, as they were desperate to save money and only served lime juice. In 1844, the Merchant Seamen's Act was passed in order to protect the men who had suffered from scurvy for years because their stingy bosses wouldn't give them anything reasonable.
This states :"And be it enacted, That every Ship navigating between the United Kingdom and any Place out of the same shall have and keep constantly on board a sufficient Supply of Medicines and Medicaments suitable to Accidents and Diseases arising on Sea Voyages, in accordance with the Scale which shall from Time to Time or at any Time be issued by the Lord High Admiral, or by the Commissioners for executing the Office of Lord High Admiral, and published in the London Gazette; and every Ship (except those bound to European Ports or to Ports in the Mediterranean Sea) shall also have on board a sufficient Quantity of Lime or Lemon Juice, Sugar, and Vinegar, the Lime or Lemon Juice, Sugar, and Vinegar to be served out to the Crew whenever they shall have been consuming salt Provisions for Ten Days; the Lime or Lemon Juice and Sugar daily, after the Rate of Half an Ounce each per Day, and the Vinegar weekly, at the Rate of Half a Pint per Week to each Person, so long as the Consumption of salt Provisions be continued; and in case any Default shall be made in providing and keeping such Medicines, Medicaments, and Lime or Lemon Juice, Sugar, and Vinegar, the Owner of the Ship shall incur a Penalty of Twenty Pounds for each and every Default; and in case of Default of serving out such Lime or Lemon Juice, Sugar, or Vinegar as aforesaid, the Master shall incur a Penalty of Five Pounds for each and every Default. " (x)
As many shipowners neglected their duties and sailors were often served watered-down or adulterated lime juice, the relevant regulations were tightened even further with the enactment of the Merchant Shipping Act 1867; from then on, the juice stocks of incoming and outgoing ships were inspected in every customs port of the British Empire by a specially appointed official, the Inspector of Lime Juice. But now the child had fallen into the nickname well. Not only did the American sailors call their British colleagues Lime Juicers or Limeys, over time it became a slightly derisive term for "the British" or "the English" in general. Which, by the way, is also often used alongside "Tommy" (originally a nickname for foot soldiers of the British Army) or the "Island Monkey".
