What "Boche" Means

The term "Boche" as applied to the
German soldiers, isn't plimentary
one, or anything new. 1t is an old term
in France. and means "thick-headed."
It is about equivalent to our American
term Of "bonehead"
The word comes from the Italian
"boccia" and means a round ball of
exceptionally hard wood used in play
ing ten pints." But how it came we do
rot know.
AS a general rule nicknames given to
soldiers are not unkindly. The French
soldier is called "Poilu." which means
hairy" because in the early French
wars the soldiers had not opportunity
to shave or have their hair cut, and
when they returned from the army they
had a rough. hairy, uncouth appear
ance. But there was nothing unkindly
ir calling them "poilu.''
The English are called "Tommies"
because of fictitious popular British
soldier made immortal in verse and
given the name Tommy Atkins" Dur
ing our Civil War the Union troops
were called "Yanks." as an abbrevia-
ton Of the word Yankee and the Con-
federates were called Johnny Rebs"
from rebel
Generally both these terms were not
used with bitterness or sarcasm But
now we have the German soldiers gen.
enerally called "Boche." or "boneheads,"
and certainly not as a term Of endear-
ment. The appellation Hun" which
one sees in print frequently, also, is a
term Of reproach, and mean that the
Germans present warfare and tactics
SAVIOR Of the barbarity Of the Huns.
