You know, my hatred for the French Government (and I stress "Government" not people) gets me strange looks in most conversations. Hee hee.
Along with their blatant distaste for our culture (the US) here are a few "Accomplishments" that the French have contributed to our world:
1. Le Car
2. Berets
3. Perfume
4. Renault
5. the Vietnam War
Notice soap is curiously absent from the above list. (Yeah, I'm horrible)
But I suppose we as an English-speaking country are programmed to dislike the French. (I'm just stating some facts)
Consider the fact that when we curse, the expression is not: "Please excuse my Japanese" or "Please excuse my Portugese" it's "Please excuse my French." (food for thought)
Also, Before France was "France" it was called "Gaul" during (and before) the Roman occupation. Therefore: if you have some Gaul, means you must be of Gaul descent and that is the reason for you rudeness. Hence the term "You have some Gaul." It's all in our language.
FYI- My girlfriend is French and rolling her eyes as I write this.
