Germans

"The two best wars this country ever fought were against the jerries."

-Harold's Uncle, in Harold and Maude

2.

A shortened form of "Germans" that wasn't really any shorter but was a bit easier to say. You can't really say "Gers" so it became "Jerries". Not necessarily a racial slur, but Germans may take offense to this.

Bill: "Hey lookit the Germans makin hot dogs over there."

Frank: "Refer to them as 'jerries', please."

3.

"Jerries" was a shortened form for "Germans" used by the allied soldiers during world war II. They used it because it was shorter and easier to say. Because you can't really say "Gers", the allies were saying "Jerries". There is no offensive or subliminal meaning on that word (unlike for "Krauts").
