See wapanese. A form of francophilia practiced amongst the less educated or pretentious. The phenomena is reffered to as "Transferred Nationalism" by Orwell in his "Notes on Nationalism."

Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
