"Redcoats" and "Lobsters".========================The terms Redcoats and Lobsters disappeared when the British Army stopped wearing red tunics. From around the 18th Century, British soldiers became known as Tommies, a term which continued until around the end of the Second World War. Nowadays British soldiers are known as squadies (from squad)
It's been attributed to Paul Revere, but the actual words were supposedly "The Regulars are coming out" - then as people took liberty of the recounting of the story, became "the British are coming" or "The Redcoats are coming". Both "Regulars" and "Redcoats" were names for the British Army troops. He wouldn't have said "The British are coming" as many believe, because many fighting with the British Army during the Revolution where British themselves.
