The people who live in the country France. The French are responsible for assistance to America in the Revolutionary War, the war in 1812, WWI and WWII and more. The French are also responsible for giving the United States one of the most historical and recodnized landmarks, the Statue of Liberty. Many dislike the French due to them not supporting the War in Iraq, but many of those that dislike the French opposed the War in Iraq. Very strange we hate a country for choosing a side a lot of us are on...

My friend is French and is often beat up for it.

2. (French) (1837↑, 437↓)
A people who have the guts to disagree with Bush. Unlike most other [Western Europe]an countries, they have never been at war with the [USA], and have been actively allied with us in the [Revolutionary War] and [World War I]. The battlefield of [Europe]: The French generally dislike war due to the fact that almost half of the battles of modern Europe were fought of French soil, and the French civilians have perished by it, on their land, for over two millenia. The second country ([America] was the first) to have a major revolution which favored [Democracy] (it didn't work out all that well). They even gave us an enormous statue for that fact.

So why are we supposed to hate The French?

4. (french) (1816↑, 961↓)
A person who is of the country France in western Europe. Often mistaken for being rude, the French don't like it when people come into their country and just expect them to speak English. If you speak French to the French, they are very nice. Also they tend to be more liberal, a testimony to their very good education system. However, they smoke too much.

Je suis Francais\! (I am french)

Someone who comes from France or of French descendant, or anything that has to do with with the country, its language, food and culture.... Most of the French people I've met are really nice and friendly people. But from that, they are also wild and crazy. That's because most of them are liberal, they don't really care much about what people say or do. See [freedom]And most of them smoke too. But I guess it would be fun to party with them.

When French is used in a sexual sense, as it often is, "French" is often used as a euphemism for oral sex in the escort world. A "French lesson" is a visit to a prostitute. "[Greek]" culture is anal sex and "English" culture is BDSM. "[Roman]" is orgies and "Swedish" is a full-release massage. If someone speaks the language without an [interpreter], it means they perform the act without a condom. It is mainly used to advertise escort services without fear of being busted by police for [prostitution]. [Pardon my French], ie, pardon the vulgarity from my mouth.

The best place to vacation is the Cote d'Azur (Southern France) I'm from the United States, and most Americans hate the French because we have a c*ck sucking, idiot-bag president who can barely spell Franch, I mean French.

Born in [France], belonging or relating to France, France's national language. French is a worlwide synonym for classy, elegant, charmant and (together to Italian) fashion and cuisine. French culture has dominated [Europe] for almost three centuries where nobles - from England to Russia - have spoken French to show their cultural and social high condition. French language is (as Italian, Spanish and others) a neo-latin language. It is also typical diplomacy language, spoken in Switzerland and Belgium (where French is official language) and in Canada too. It's the best known foreign language in Italy, Spain, West Germany (countries near to France and connected with French Culture) and even in Algery, Tunisy, Maroc, many African countries, Madagascar, Liban, Syria, Vietnam, Laos, Haiti (former French colonies) - at least till 1985 - and in French departments (Guyana, Polinese, New Caldonia, Guadaloupe, many Caribbean countries etc.). Even in Eastern Europe during Cold War, French - after Russian - was preferred as international language. French is still the 5th or 6th more spoken language in the world and a reference point (different from anglo-american one but not opposing to) for all free and educated people.

I love Paris, french capital. French is so a fashinating language. She is so classy, she speaks perfectly French. French and Italian people consider themselves like cousins.

Possibly the second most hated group of human beings on the planet (next to Americans of course), for reasons that vary from person to person. 3. The official language of France, and some of its neighboring countries, such as Belgium, etc. Fun to learn, but difficult to master.

1. This wine is French. 2. Americans tend to hate the French, but whether they like it or not, they've been helpful through the years. You can't forget history because the president tells you to. 3. Est-ce que vous aimez parler le français? Oui, mais je ne le parle pas très bien.

This is not a definition. A lot of the them already here are spot on. This is just to clear things up. No one outside America stereotypes the French as being cowards. Few people consider them to be rude. Those are just stereotypes invented by the most stereotyped people around(Americans) to make themselves feel better.

Americans love to say the British have bad teeth. They love to say the French are cowards. These are ideas unheard of outside the USA. However, most people DO consider Americans to be stupid. [France] [Champ d'Elysee] [Frog] [Frenchies] [Sarkozy]

I've noticed that the French seem to take pride in their work. Great, I as an American take pride in my work too. But you cant say the French helped build America, as we Americans killed the occasional Frenchman trying to take over our 13 original colonies. So we werent all fine and dandy during America's start. And also, we as Americans helped the French out a lot during their time, (such as war), of need and are still great trading partners with the French. But I dont really see the French helping back in modern times. America helped you during WW1 and WW2 but once we Americans get in trouble with Iraq, the French back out. Thanks for the great help. And dont say you give us weopons. We dont use them because well . . . they suck. Most jam after one or two shots literaly. I'm not saying our weopons are perfect, some of them blow up in our faces. But we admit it. So average french guy = Nice, kind hearted, a little shaky around Americans. No reason to be. We're fair people.

The women (les francaises) have a tendancy to dislike all other women - French or otherwise due to their innate insecurities and will never be seen in the company of fellow females unless extremely large or physically challenged to ensure they are not threatened.

Their facial expression and countenance always appears as if they are tired and haven’t slept for days, or as if they are coming out of a hang over (which they probably are). Sometimes this is accompanied by a slightly creepy lethargic smile usually leading one to believe they are thinking dirty thoughts about the next young woman to cross their paths on the Parisian streets.

They usually have baguettes under there arm; it is unknown what they do with this baked good.
