Good food and a language that makes sense?

I’m afraid that wasn’t an option after ol’ Harold Godwinson got one in the eye.

You could always boycott all words ending in -ion or -able to prove a point. As Dumas Jr. put it, “this language is just mangled French!”

Bah, sense is yet another aspect of French obsession with reason. Dreadful stuff. We take what works.

I will concede that French sounds better, and is far better to curse in.

@zecarlo

Good food

Debatable. British food is as underrated as French is overrated.

Please. Don’t remind me, the wound is too raw yet.

I adore Dumas, it’s the French political philosophers I cannot abide.

Well, that’s a remarkable theory. Let’s just leave it at that.

My darling bride to be made this for my birthday before I proposed, by the by.

Needless to say, it made the decision to marry her very simple.

I always leave the theories to the French. It has served Britain well thus far.

The eye? He lost more than his eye.

I prefer Mayall’s Flashheart over Flashman.

Well, a life and a throne that wasn’t actually his in the first place. Much like the Saxe Coburg-Gothas. (badum thisss)

@Legalsteel

I assure you, the feeling is mutual. If I could drive every French idea into the sea, I would. Alas, my ruling class has never shared that desire.

In America we make fun of the French for being pussies even though we probably wouldn’t be a country without them.

But yes fuck the French. But this doesn’t make us friends. If I ever get the nuke codes it’s not China I’m after. It’s our og enemy!

Bah. BAH I SAY!

I vacillate. Flashman is the clearly more fleshed out character, but Mayall made that character his own. Stupendous either way.

Us Brits know that the oldest enemy can scrap. It’s their politics we dislike…and the occasional drubbing they deliver.

Oh you yanks are much too young for this game. We’ve been playing geopolitics since before you had a nation. We have branches of the civil service that are older.

If you thought to nuke us, rest assured, we would have given you the idea.

I’m hanging my head in shame at this as it’s gold and I have no strong rebuttal.

I will be back to fight you again, but for now you’ve struck a strong blow…

Fuck that! America! I’ll never acknowledge a foreigner hurt me. (But seriously yes)

[SkyzykS]

@H_factor

But yes fuck the French.

Their entire language sounds like one giant queef.

Except when women use it.

[flappinit]

I’ve talked about this before, but after the first time I went to France (I went three other times), my friends and I just told people we were Canadian every other time, and things were great.

They did invent the smokeless cartridge, so ill give them a few points for that.

[loppar]

They also did capture Moscow, something others have failed to do.

Still not as embarrassing as what we did to them at Agincourt.

Also, to quote the great John Jarvis:

“I do not say, my Lords, that the French will not come. I say only they will not come by sea.”

Them? Henri V était français.
