At first glance I thought it had something to do with global moochers. Like the UN and all third world countries.

Sounds French. Never respected them enough to bother with their language.

"close yer mouths lest flies enter them..."

Good Morning!

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly ...

To a fly, nothing enhances the appeal of a gobemouche like a coprophagic smile.

it is french. it also happens to absolutely spot-on depict the MSM and most of the sheeple when it comes to the obams. which is why i selected it for WFTD.

I’ll have to start using this word on message boards. Internet gobemouche has a nice ring to it, and they’ll have to make an effort to find out what it means.

Isn’t there a verb in Spanish that means “to eat flies” as in to be astonished? I remember learning it but I disremembered it.
