英语词汇jerries的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Jerries. During World War I Jerry was perhaps the most of- fensive of the derogatory names given the Germans by Allied soldiers, these names including Boche (from the French for “blockhead”); Kraut (from sauerkraut); Heinie (from the Ger- man name Heinrich); and Hun (after the ancient barbarous warriors). But over the years Jerry came to be the mildest of such words, once its origins were forgotten: German soldiers were called Jerries by the British because their helmets resem- bled the chamber pots the British called jerries, which took their name from the slang jeroboam, for a chamber pot. See jeroboam.
