Hi,
In France we sometime refer to the United States of America citizens as
"Nord Américains" (Northern Americans ?), but then we have all the
Canadian and Inuit pissed... Maybe even the polar bears ;-)
At least with "froggies" thing are clear, no one else want it, except
maybe those green chewy legs owners, but they don't dare to protest.
Not a simple issue for sure.
Tom
