The term 'frog' (and its variation 'froggy') is rooted in the hostility between French and British states around the time of the French revolution. The term was as far as I can remember, coined by William Pitt the Younger. It is a a generalisation and derogatory term taking root in the fact that French people were supposed to eat frog legs (partly true, even though these days this is more a curiosity dish for tourists). Politically, William Pitt the Younger aimed to decrease the influence of France in Europe (just before the French revolution), and during the Revolution was even more worried that it could set an example for Britons.
It started out as "frog eaters", as frog legs actually were eaten in France. It then became frogs as it's shorter and easier to say.
