In other French related word play is the term “French leave,” a term popular during the first half of the 20th Century, including WWI and WWII. “French Leave” described the propensity of French soldiers to desert when faced with an adverse situation.
Another interesting tidbit about France is that it is the only country to lose twice in WWII. It lost to the Nazis when they took over in 1940 or so. Meanwhile, the Vichy French fought on with their Nazi allies in North Africa then they too were defeated. One country, one war, two defeats.
Ein Reich, Eine Bevolkeung...zwei...
Oh, bugger it.
