Isn’t it offensive to refer to the French as frogs?
No. It would be rude to refer to them as garlic-eating lazy good for nothing sheep-burning scroungers incapable of doing a day’s work without an EU handout. But I don’t think sheepshagger did that.
We call New Zealanders ‘Kiwis’, and Americans ‘Yanks’ (at least in some parts of the world), and Germans ‘Krauts’. I guess if we say it with no harmful or derogative intentions, then it should be ok. Certainly, if they take offense, then things should change. Otherwise, Frogs, Kiwis, Yanks, and Krauts they are!

The correct term is “Cheese eating Surrender Monkeys.”
Do a google on it.

And in all regions within our Empire/Commonwealth, such as Scotland, Canada, Australia, etc., the English are known as ‘Sir’ or ‘Madam’.
