The 1924 Olympiad was in Paris, but the stars of the show were the Brits (and one very fine Scot!)

Chariots of Fire was the first place I heard the term 'frogs' used to describe the French. Something about not going 'cap in hand to the frogs' and asking to change Eric Liddle's heat from Sunday. The committee wouldn't do it.

Don't give in to those frogs!

I take it then that the term frogs is not everyday language for the French in the US.
