The term “The Boche” used by the British to refer to the Germans during the World Wars has its origins in French slang. It is believed to have derived from the French word “caboche,” which means “rascal” or “head,” particularly a big, thick head. This term was used in the Paris underworld from around 1860 to describe a disagreeable or troublesome fellow1.
During World War I, the term was adopted by the French to refer to German soldiers and subsequently picked up by the British public and press. Other terms like “Jerry” and “Fritz” were also used by the British Army and Navy, while “Hun” was more commonly used by the Royal Air Force.
