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.
