cheese-eating
Fond of Gouda
Cheese-eating describes someone who eats cheese, used almost exclusively in the derisive phrase cheese-eating surrender monkeys—an insult for the French that mocks both their cuisine and perceived military cowardice.
The phrase originated on *The Simpsons* and gained currency during Franco-American tensions over the Iraq War.
