Oh, I know what "counting coup" is.

I merely dispute the fact that the injuns used the French word "coup"

I'm not a betting man (yes I am), but I'd bet they had no concept of the "silent p" until the Frogs came.

Somebody email Elizabeth Warren and ask her the Indian word for "coup". Only she can settle this.
