Comes from Lime Street, in Liverpool, UK - where sailors used to hangout between trips, chillin and spending the time and cash on ‘colourful ‘ pursuits before heading out for the seas again. In fact, Liverpool sailors weee called Limies/Lymies - a term later used for anyone who likes to hangout. Much history of slavery and trading with Liverpool docks can be seen in black history museum in Liverpool dockyards - an interesting day out but emotionally impactful 🤷🏽‍♀️🙏🏽

I’m am sorry, correct me if I’m wrong. that tour guide is wrong. I won’t say so much as the plantation owners, but their workers ... the lime juice will quicker attract bugs.. liming is comes from drinking lime juice while taking a break.

[@cherylremington3059]

Queen Latifah should know her facts before she goes on national television and spread propaganda. Thank you. liming Verb 1. Present participle of lime. 2. (Trinidadian, Caribbean, slang) hanging around, usually in a public place with friends, enjoying the scene. "No Liming or Loitering - No Shouting or Loud Noise" (written on a sign in Port of Spain shopping mall). Origin 1) The word is associated with sitting under a lime tree, or having nothing more demanding to do than squeezing limes. It is also thought to originate from "limey", a slang term meaning a British serviceman during World War II (noted for hanging around bars and drinking). 2) During long voyages at sea, sailors would suffer from a disease known as Scurvy which was caused from a lack of Vitamin C. British soldiers would counteract this by taking limes on board and sucking them periodically. For this, they came to be known as "limeys". During WW2 when many limeys were stationed in Trinidad and Tobago, they would seek amusement from the local prostitutes (Green-Corner, Port-of-Spain was famous for this and there is more than one calypso sung about it e.g. Jean and Dinah - Sparrow). The locals would see the limeys hanging out and say that they were "liming", hence, liming became a verb which means to hang out (source: English teacher in Hillview College, Trinidad-and Tobago early 90's).
