SEMANTIC ENIGMASMany nicknames bestowed on those from other countries seem to be related to foodstuffs popular in those counties, eg. 'Frogs' for French, 'Krauts' for Germans. I have also heard that French people often refer to Brits as 'Roast Beefs' and that Germans used to refer to Italians during the war as 'Macaronis'.
