whats the point of renown?

As for “jerry,” British soldiers began calling Germans “Jerries” in World War I, not World War II. But the “jerry” in “jerry-built” dates back to the mid-1800s. It may be old British slang for a chamber pot, or it may be a reference to the walls of Jericho, which came tumbling down—but word historians don’t believe it has anything to do with Germans.

I would also recommending heading to a library and taking a look at any good dictionary of slang.

Ok steve, you can have the final word. You "win".

Point being im not gotta keep tossing this one back and forth just to feed the ego driven need of being "right".

Oh, and here's your gold star

Sour grapes. I'm not trying to be right, just helpful.:p
