Cheese Eating Surrender Mokeys

We forgive you this time... The Guardian admits they don't know their Simpson's trivia:
The description of the French as "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" was not coined by Bart Simpson, as we suggested in Wimps, weasels and monkeys - the US media view of "perfidious France", page 3, February 11. It comes from the Simpsons character Groundskeeper Willie, the Scottish immigrant who takes care of custodial matters at the elementary school.
