Don't forget that at one time not too long agothe cafeterias in the US Congress changed the terms "French fries" and "French toast" to "freedom fries" and "freedom toast".
This was in response to those damn French thinking they had the right to govern themselves and not send troops to Iraq. How dare they not do what George Bush told them they must do?
Of course French Fries (or chips to you Brits) are really Belgian and French toast was named after the cook who "invented" it whose last name was French.
(Obama has changed the names back to their original names)
