Too true. “Spotted Dicks” would have had a much better ring to it.
P.S. Would it be possible to maybe come up with a frowning ‘putz’ smilie? Perhaps flipping the bird? And maybe saying ‘Fuckin’ Moron!’ insteada ‘putz’? It’d definately be more applicable to threads like this.

“Rosbif” is in fact mildly insulting (in a French context) - it’s the French equivalent of “Frog”.
Aside from the deep insult, how stupid is it to tell dead people to go home?
Les see here, disagreeing with American policy about a fight somewhere else is the same as the death and destruction from 9-11?
All asshats are asshats, I agree.
A lot of Americans have been pissed at France for many things over the years and have not desecrated the graves of the French who have helped the US and are buried here. Don’t think the British have done that either.
All asshats are asshats, I agree.
I wonder if the French would have more or less asshats than the Americans if some Muslims were to take out the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and 3000 +/- innocent civilians?
It’s a disgrace that idiots like this are still breathing.
Why pretend that this is the point Sionach was trying to make. The equation was dealing with reactionary assholes, not the event that provoked them.
My god, I havn’t heard anyone use that phrase in anything written about later than 1500. Roast Beef. Because, supposedly, that was all brits ate, as well as their tendency to become red and flushed in the face.
Pretty much a direct counterpart to ‘Frogs’.
“Le Roast-Beefs” is the traditional French term for us Brits, dating back at least as far as the 100 years war. Mildy disparaging , it’s used in the same way as we would refer to the french as “Frogs”.
Both insults of course refering to our culinary habits.
Do you mean this in the same way as my post above that says exactly the same thing? 
- what a bunch of mean-spirited little assholes. Is it me, or do we see the absolutely worst side of people these days ?
Perhaps a glance at the time stamps might explain things?
Oh , hell and death.
I thought that was E-sabbath commenting on how we’d given almost identical responses.
To respond to jjimm
I didn’t think it was clear that the insult referred to Roast beef (you were using Rosbif).
I wanted to point out how old the expression was.
Mmmmmmm roast beef.
Hey Brutus you’ve got counterparts* over this side of the pond. How nice that you’re not on your own. Idiots of the world unite you’ve got nothing to loose but the respect of all right thinking people.
- I don’t mean that Brutus has gone around defacing monuments. I mean that he seems to exhibit the same knuckle dragging idiocy that would lead to something like that happening.
I was just taking the piss. Didn’t see that E-Sabbath had said the same thing as well! At least we’re all singing from the same hymn sheet.
French for “asshat” is “chapeau d’âne” according to Google. Just thought y’all would like to know.
It’s not you. Can any theologians out there let me know if the end of days is meant to be presaged by a plague of wankers?
Well, “âne” is ass in the sense of donkey. “cul” is ass in the sense of butt.
Chapeau d’cul.
Va te faire enculer, chapeau d’cul! “Go get yourself sodomized, ass-hat!”
How is that pronounced? I’d hate to sound like a chapeau d’cul when insulting a Frenchman.
