Punctus Gallicism

Frog-stration, that is, French prostration. A point made by the bureaucrats in French politics, especially when concerned to knee-jerk Anti-Americanism. It is the more comical since French politicians have a reputation for the shrillness of their voices, which often sounds like that of a castrated cat.

Dominique de Villepin is famous for his punctus gallicisms over the war against Saddam Hussein.
