In 1995, Ken Keeler, a writer on “The Simpsons” coined this derisive epithet for the French when he had Groundskeeper Willie pronounce it to comic effect. It has subsequently entered the Oxford quotation dictionary, though Keeler has insisted that it was not meant as a political statement. In this episode of the “Polemical History Podcast”, Tim & Anthony discuss the historical justification for the Anglo-American stereotype of the French as cowards.
