cheese eating
Enjoying some cheddar
Cheese eating appears most often as a modifier suggesting weakness, cowardice, or contemptible behavior.
The phrase gained currency from the stereotype of the French as cheese-eating surrender monkeys, popularized by American media.
Outside this political insult, cheese eating simply describes the act of consuming cheese: The cheese-eating mice had gotten into the pantry again.
