British slang, considered offensive, for a German person. Derived from the common German name Fritz, which became a generic British nickname for German soldiers during WWI and WWII. The term carries wartime connotations and is outdated and offensive in contemporary use.
In the old war memoirs, the soldiers still referred to the enemy simply as 'the Fritzies.'
