I assume Alex had a funny accent. Having been born lo these 60 years ago in the quaint hamlet of Blackburn, and having since lost my own funny accent (Except when the weather turns cold and my upper lip freezes stiff (Stiff Upper Lip)), I consider "Limey" to be only a few notches down from nobility.
Alex, welcome to Canader eh?

A Limey is a slang word that can be offensive to the wrong person. My English grandmother hated that word. It's origin is a reference to British sailors in the Caribbean using Limes in place of Lemons.
