My NRO article today — on why we call the French “frogs” — owes a lot to The Corner. Many moons ago, Peter Robinson and I had an exchange here about the joys and how-tos of catching frogs with your kids. When we bumped into each other months later, Peter asked me how it was going with the frogs — and I assumed he was talking about my book on the French. We proceeded to have an awkward conversation until we realized he was talking about amphibians and I was talking about Gaullists. Anyway, if you’ve ever wondered how the French got their nickname, read this.
