A derisive synonym for "French".
Most often used by the British who despise their arrogant
neighbors to the south, this term is borne of the French disdain for
personal hygiene. As an example, the Stench invented the bidet, a device to wash your crotch, while leaving the rest of your body smelling like
rotten eggs. Go figure.
Nigel: I sat next to this heathen on
the Chunnel train to Paris today, and I got so sick I threw up.
Winston: Why was that, mate?
Nigel: I think this
disgusting tosser was Stench.
Winston: Blimey, those people really stink.
