On the German side, the favoured names for the French were Franzmann and several names based on germanised French phrases: Parlewuhs (parlez-vous), Wulewuhs(voulez-vous), Olala, and the very popular Tulemong(tous le monde). (28) For British soldiers, the Germans, like the French, used "Tommy," although naturally deforming the pronunciation. Ref: http://www.firstworldwar.com/features/slang.htm
