Jerry \Jer"ry\, a. Flimsy; jerry-built. -- Jer"ry*ism, n. [Both Builder's Cant]
Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
World War I British Army slang for "a German, the Germans," 1919, probably an alteration of German, but also said to be from the shape of the German helmet, which was thought to resemble a jerry, British slang for "chamber pot" (1827), this being probably an abbreviation of jeroboam. Hence jerry-can "5-gallon metal container" (1943), a type first used by German troops in World War II, later adopted by the Allies.

Jerry (1821 – c. 1845) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for winning the classic St Leger Stakes in 1824. In a racing career which lasted from 1824 until 1827 he ran ten times and won five races. Unraced as a two-year-old, he was beaten on his first appearance in 1824 but then won the York St Leger and the XYZ Stakes at Newcastle before defeating twenty-two opponents in the St Leger at Doncaster. Jerry missed the entire 1825 season and showed little worthwhile form in 1826, but won twice as a six-year-old in 1827. He was retired to stud, where he proved to be a successful sire of winners.
