It’s a quote from Groundskeeper Willy in The Simpsons. Of course he says it, because the French are a bunch of cheese-eating surrender monkeys.
have you never seen “the simpsons”…?
Its the proper term for the “French”
I’ve never called someone a Computer Aided Design.
I rarely jump to the defence of the french, but they’ve been involved in more wars than any other modern country and won two thirds of them. Few can boast stats like that.
It’s how I’ve described the french for as long as I can remember, I don’t know its origins, though.
Am disappointed “poltroon” isn’t up there. An all time classic is that
It is. We call French people that.
I bemoan the demise of ‘popinjay’.
Yep… heard it used at work to describe a Frenchman. Lovely stuff.

It’s in the same realm as purple monkey dishwasher
If you want a laugh I’d recommend asking Chat GPT to invent some new British insults. My favourites were ‘You soggy bag of chips’ and ‘You absolute crumpet snatcher’!
Good to see part of my job title is now considered an insult. Makes sense, really.
Not so much these days… it’s a reference to the french being overwhelmed early in the second world war… not their fault really, as most of the allies we’re caught on the hop (turned a blind eye to the threat of German re-armament prior to war breaking out).
My mates used to use the insult >! “ass licking, cock sucking masterbating fanny” !< 🤣
I thought it was wine guzzling, cheese eating surrender minkeys?
I’ve heard it a few times before. It’s a comical slur on the French.
Calling someone the Canadian dollar is a pretty nerdy insult tbh
I know one guy who says it, but hes also a bit of a twat.
