Quelle une dommage, la France

David used the adjective "inane" to describe the French in a comment. Fareed Zakaria used the term "sclerotic" to describe Europe in general. Given the season the world is in, I think the time is right to stretch our vocabularies. I submit a few samples: adjectives that can preceed the words "French" or "France". Please add your own submissions, with definitions, as comments.

The inane French. (empty, insubstantial)
The sclerotic French. (pathologically hardened)
The impuissant French. (weak, powerless) (yes, I know it's of French origin)
The insipid French. (lacking in qualities that interest, stimulate, or challenge, tasteless)
The obfuscatory French. (obscuring, confusing)
The objurgatory French. (quarrelsome, castigating)
The pertinacious French. (perversely persistent)
The pettish French. (fretful, peevish)
And of course the classic (usually applied to Albion), perfidious France.

A bientot...
