Satire or not. It's a lazy trope that involves you pissing on the graves of a nation's fallen soldiers in a feeble attempt to raise a laugh. Just sayin'. No offence intended.

I refer back to the first two world wars.

OK, I will refer back to them too.

Do you seriously think something happened in WW1 that can be likened to Germany "taking over" France and doing so "with a peashooter"?

Surely, in WW1, the 1,300,000 French soldiers who died ~ successfully repelling the German invaders ~ say something different?

As for WW2, in Europe ...[text shortened]... historically-illiterate fatuous American trope that deserves to be retired from adult conversations.
I saw the film"I urinate on your grave" lacks a bit of grit.

My great grandfather and his 3 brothers fought in France in WWI. 3 returned home. Grandpa had bad lungs from chlorine gas which killed his brother. Grandpa called Frenchman cheese eating surrender monkeys or fr*gs.
Interesting historical note. The ancient coat of arms of France was 3 toads, Englishmen then called them fr*gs. An angel appeared before the king of France and gave him the fleur de Lis. Or so goes the legend of the switch from toads to the modern design.

The French voted long ago for less work and more benefits and proposed to finance it with a generational Ponzi scheme. The current government made the mistake of moving the goal posts without explaining the necessity of it to those affected. It should have been explained better and put to a plebiscite.

That phrase predates the Simpsons by 50 years. It was used during WWII.
Or do you just pull "facts" out of your bum?

What next? "Satirical" tropes about Jews? Black people?
Sammy Davis jr was also short and blind.

Perhaps the cheese eating part, but surrender monkeys was said often. My apologies for the error. Mandela effects
