Cheese-eating surrender monkeys
The phrase first appeared in an episode of The Simpsons entitled "'Round Springfield" (first aired on April 30, 1995).<2> Groundskeeper Willie, the school janitor, is teaching French due to budget cuts, dressed in a striped shirt and a beret. In a heavy Scottish accent, he greets the class with "Bonjourrr, yah cheese-eatin' surrender monkeys!" According to the DVD commentary for the episode, the line was "most likely" written by Ken Keeler.
