Hmm I never thought about where the term came from.
It could be from the word desi, and someone who looks "fresh" in a sarcastic way.....so Freshi - Freshie. That's just my on the spot theory.
I used to use the term a lot, but now use the term "illegal immegrant" when referring to someone who came into the country illegally.
When referring to someone who came here legally but isn't British born, I think I call them immegrants or asylum seekers. (not used both terms recently so hence the "I think")

hell man why do you guys call them freshies?? It's like division among own punjabis....don't diss them guys your baapu,grandpa or near ones this way are freshies one time or the other........desi way is the right way of having fun without eyeing every girl out there as a very *friendly* person all is fine....it's atleast better than you guys who speak punjabi to piss everyone around.
