recent francophobic slur

[Jonathan Lighter]

Google turns up about 30,000 exx. of "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" as a ridiculing epithet for the French.

The earliest ex. appears to be from Jan. 14, 2000, but the phrase was introduced on a _Simpsons_ episode - and, IIRC, was used only once - slightly earlier.
