If "cliché" is a French word, it's probably because the French are loooving to judge each other.

Definition

A cliché is an idea of something thunk by a lot of people about something they never have seen (or heard or smelt or touched or ate...), generally wrong.

Some countries seen by many French

*United States : Probably the country seen the most negatively by the French. The American are seen as fat, dumb and too rich people (which is not really appreciated in France).

*United Kingdom : The French think that English people are living in the whole country. So the clichés are about them. They are seen as snobs, weird and people who don't know how to cook. Irish (they're independant, but not for all French) and Scottish are always drunk and know how to animate parties.

*Japan : The Japanese are quite appreciated by the French, for their culture, but those latters think that they're Chinese (like all Asians).

*Germany : They are seen as always eating sausages and bretzels (which is not totally wrong, I lived 2 months in Bavaria and it was it), drinking too much (not so wrong too) and speaking a weird language (on that point I'm disagreeing).

*Italia : They are sexist, racist, mafiosi and men are attractive.

*Spain : The inhabitants of Spain are seen as living in amazing villas near the beach, always eating paella, going to bed very late and men are attractive too.

That's all for the moment !

Hope you'll look "more French" right now !
