Wow! Zemmour said that about us... ricains ? I don't understand why he'd hate us. I don't know why the French despise us. I mean, I do pick the corn out of my remaining teeth before cleaning the stables.
But he was right--every blessed blistering word--about Macron at Villepinte. Macron is not only an emotionally stunted adolescent, he is a void. He's frankly terrifying.
But if you're in rosbif land, yooz guys have your own bad boy to worry about tonight, dontcha? That's too bad, because Boris Johnson is immensely forgivable. Macron is just plain dangerous, but Johnson is merely classist. And, Hello! It's the UK!
Well, enough for one night from an opinionated Yank/Ric/'Loque. Back to slopping the hogs.
The French term 'Rosbifs' originated from the British style of cooking.
So it's a fairly idiotic insult.
Most ordinary people in Britain and France get on perfectly well, and the French even have their own little enclave in South Kensington in London, complete with French schools and a French cultural centre, as well as French boulangeries, cafes and restaurants.

Why is it idiotic? Is it more idiotic than "Frogs"?
I tried to edit my response to Rozenn but was unable. That has never happened before on City-Data.
In regard to "babtous" in verlan, what exactly would "toubabs" mean? "Tout"... babs? But what is "babs" in French?
"Toubab" is/was a slightly derogaroty term for white/French/colonizer in parts of West Africa (mainly in Senegal and places directly east it seems, dunno for sure). Seems to be related to Wolof rather than French!
