bosche

The term "bosche" is often used as a derogatory slang term, primarily in British English, to refer to a German person. Its origins are thought to be a corruption of the word "Deutsch," the German word for Germany. The term gained prominence during World War I and World War II as a pejorative way to dehumanize and insult enemy soldiers and civilians. While its use was more widespread during wartime, it has persisted as a casual, albeit offensive, slur. The term carries negative connotations associated with historical conflicts and stereotypes. Its usage is generally considered offensive and impolite.
