Frogs

Just wondering. Apperently 'cheese-eating surrender monkey' is from the Simpsons.

Dict. of Amer. Slang says "Probably from 'frog-eater.'" I'm guessing that alliteration helped.

FROG - "a Frenchman, was common in England by 1870 but became well known in the U.S. only during World War I. It is probably from the French relishing frogs as a delicacy, reinforced by the toads on the coat of arms of the city of Paris." From I Hear America Talking: An Illustrated History of American Words and Phrases by Stuart Berg Flexner (Von Nostrand Reinhold Co., New York, 1976).
