Obviously the English word &#8220;snob&#8221; is an inaccurate description, since a snob is someone who thinks he&#8217;s superior, which is different from a Frenchman, who knows he&#8217;s superior. <\/p>\n<p>Our food is superior, our language is superior, our culture is superior, our women are more beautiful and sophisticated, but we still take your women as well, because we can. Did you know that syphilis is known as &#8220;the French disease&#8221; in every major European language and Arabic?
