Luke says:
The lime is the fruit that survives longest off the vine, so British sailors would pack their ships full of limes to /prevent/ scurvey, and then monopolised the world lime trade to stop the other navies doing it and ended up with more limes than they needed, and then sold them at extortionate prices
Luke says:
Term lime/limey was generally just used for British sailors, but it was also an action, too
Luke says:
"To lime" was an action, describing the British soldies "liming around", 'acting British', in foreign cities
