When winning an Oscar for “The Artist”, Dujardin broke into his native French language in celebration shouting: “Wow, victory!”
He was not the only one surprised, the French actually have a word for Victory!!!

Yes, this word exists in French, but it has not been used since the days of Napoleon.
in the words of groundskeeper willy, “cheese munching surrender monkeys”
yeah, and yanks are Burger-eating invasion monkeys.
Technically speaking, the French have the single best record of victories in warfare, over any other country on the planet. They never surrendered in WW1 despite horrendous losses, and the Free French kept fighting even after their country had been taken over during WW2. Hell, when the British expeditionary force was beaten back by the Germans in the early days of 1940, it was French troops that kept the Germans at bay, allowing time for the British to evacuate 338,226 soldiers from Dunkirk. The French rear guard suffered massive loses throughout the nine days of fighting, and only surrendered after the Brits were away.
Do not call the French ‘cowards’. Ever.
Cowards!
Why? Because they’re defended by The Rat King. Fromage eating surrender monkeys may well have paid him off in with good artisanal.
I kid, well, only because of your nickname.
History is all what those still living choose to recall. The Scythians had a hell of a winning record, right up to the time lost and others quit writing about them. Facts don’t change, but facts get lost : recorded history is an ever changing recipe. How about we start insulting the French for things they’ve done in our lifetimes (Renault Clio, nuff said) and leave historical divisions to the long dead who earned them?
This man’s view. Even I think our French sisters and brothers have endured enough old jokes. With Carla as their first lady we may well make more insult today through open mouth drooling than tired gaff.
In fact, he’d not shouting “victory”, but a very vulgar french locution which is roughly equal to “holy fucking jesus”. So much for the “French elegance”….French “actors” are just like any “actors” in the world : common people with a big big head and a sense of humility which is in a galaxy far, very far away.
Check it by yourself : “Wow, putain, génial, merci beaucoup” (at the end of his speech).
A clown in a clown’s business. Nothing to say….
