frenchgasm

the appreciative reaction one may feel when being exposed to something overly french. this may be an emotional and/or physical response.

This afternoon I was taken to a nice little café hidden in a narrow cobbled alley, there we tasted wine and cheese to the sound of some accordion. It totally gave me a frenchgasm.

Would you look at this little girl with a beret, it's such a cutegasm except french ... Frenchgasm!

David Frenchism

a viewpoint in which one advocates for neutral classical liberal principles in the face of illiberal forces despite the zealous willingness of illiberal forces to turn the tools of classical liberalism against itself in the pursuit of power. A believer in David Frenchism assumes that under a free speech doctrine, all views will be afforded space in the public square in the marketplace of ideas, and holds this view even when presented with overwhelming evidence that allied forces are being effectively squeezed out by illiberal forces. David Frenchism typically involves improperly assessing the facts on the ground, underestimated the strength and determination of a political opponent, and making naive, Constitution-based legal arguments that are tantamount to "powerlessness by design" that cedes the field to a political enemy.
