The term gained popularity during the two World Wars, especially World War II when the United States was in conflict with Germany.
The origins of "Jerrys" can be traced back to the derogatory use of the term "Jerries" by British soldiers during World War I, derived from the name "Jeremiah" which was a common name for German soldiers at the time. Over the years, the term "Jerrys" became commonly used in the United States as a more generalized slang term for Germans and people of German descent.
However, it is important to note that the term "Jerrys" is considered offensive and derogatory.
