What the HELL do they call Native Europeans? If you're French, you don't go back and say, "Oh I'm Gallo-Roman, Celtic and Baltic." Do you?

We just refer to them as  "fucking French"

Considering that most of the English ARE French...

Zut alors!

That's an appalling thing to say to an Englishman, and it cuts me to the quick! In what way are most of the English French?

[Jenne]

"La Bretagne" mon cher Badbeast.

L'histoire anglaise is pretty clear on how much back and forth you guys had for centuries...

[BadBeast]

That's largely a myth, perpetuated by the French, to disguise the fact that they are mostly descended from other Frenchmen.

[Jenne]

  Mais bien sur--I mean, but of course!

[BadBeast]

But I believe the French say the same thing about us, (from a safe distance of course) but they say it in French. (A rudimentary language made up of grunts, shrugs, and frowns that no Englishman understands)

[Triple Zero]

nasal grunts and snorts, to be most precise.

[BadBeast]

Whatever it is, it's terribly harsh on the ear. I think they deliberately speak it, just to annoy the fuck out of anyone unfortunate enough to be in earshot. They must know how mush it grates on people, because they speak it all the time. Serves 'em right, really.

[Triple Zero]

I also heard they sometimes fart in our general direction.

[BadBeast]

I think that's just the smell of Paris, when the wind is in the south. I don't know how they can live like it. I suppose the stink of garlic over everything must mask it slightly, but still, . . . . . Last Summer they had to ban French Women from getting in the Sea, because they couldn't get the smell out of the fish! That's just nasty.

Tres drole! Aussi, ils mangent des grenouilles et escargot.
Ils mangent n'importe quoi a base de carbone. Degoutant! 

[BadBeast]

What kind of crazy jibber jabber is that then? Welsh?

Don't let the double L's fool you. There aren't enough y's and w's for it to be Welsh.

Ever see the Bayeux Tapestry? It tells the story why.

[BadBeast]

They weren't French,they were Normans! Danish Vikings who'd conquered Normandy, and settled for a few generations. But even they couldn't stand the whiny tone of the Gallic Natives, or the comedy diet, so they decided to move somewhere with a bit more culture, and proper food.
