#2 What's wrong with the Phrench?

Everything the other countries said.

And then some.

But to sum it up in one word - ARROGANCE.

#5 GE, in case ya missed it, this was about how delusional the French are about how other people see them.

We know the rest of the world hates us, too. The two big differences between us and the French are:

1) we're aware of it instead of denying that it exists, and

2) we know that when the shit really hits the fan (as in the tsunami relief effort), the world doesn't rely on the French to help them out. They call us, knowing we will ignore all the stupid crap they just spewed in their media and will get the job done. Everyone knows the French will cruise by about a month later to criticize the natives' fashion sense and cuisine. Maybe....if they can get a ship out of port. Otherwise, all they'll be able to do is get Chirac to issue another ignorant public statement.

#6 Interestingly, the Swedes consider them "disobedient, immoral, disorganised, neo-colonialist and dirty".

How immoral do you have to be for the SWEDES to accuse you of it?

#11 Is TGA in the house? I've often wondered what the Germans really say about the French when no outsiders are around.

#12 Scrawny, cerebral, argumentative, funny, cynical.

#13 Frenchwomen: well-coiffed, well-dressed, good posture but very un-sexy (see "scrawny", above, and add physically unattractive).

Almost the complete opposite of American women.
