No offense, but whenever this claim comes up, the same article from that one guy is quoted, and not much else. If the claim was true, one would think that, in the decade or so since, there would have been countless stories of french embassy personnel expelled, of french students being undercover spies, or of french secret services corrupting civil servants abroad, like there are for Russia or China.

Also there is no french word for entrepreneur.

- fmajid 3y agoIt's a reference to an apocryphal quote attributed to George W. Bush "You can't trust the French. They don't even have a word for entrepreneur". Obviously sarcastic.
