Formerly known as "condescending" but has evolved beyond the scope of the original meaning to be come "the moment when a Frenchman or Frenchwoman is telling a foreigner literally anything, whether the foreigner knows how to do it or not and the Frenchman/woman's ways are very humiliating" because they feel superior
NB: when it happens in reverse i.e. When a foreigner does it to a french citizen see: Nagging or backwardness
