Yea, that's all well and good, white eyes. But the Injuns didn't speak French, did they? Or did they invent French and teach it to the frogs?

The injuns did they scalpin and whatnot, but they most likely didn't call it COUP or COUNTING COUP. Those are French words. So all this white man yammerin' about "counting coup" being a noun or verb is forked tongue white eye lies.

I bet the injuns didn't even have nouns OR verbs neither.

Savvy, kemosabe?

Maybe it’s best you don’t go pretending you’re a fantastic linguist.
