Heh. I had to look that one up, I'm afraid. Insufficient exposure to toilet walls at French universities, I fear (I gather my German penfriend got quite an education that way).
I do love the way the English and the French like to blame anything not quite nice on each other, don't you? French pox / poxe Anglaise comes strongly to mind as another example...
