   Once upon a time drinking beer (I'm American) with a
   Belgian, Moroccan, Senegalese, Portuguese, and several
   French, we managed to come up with a pejorative for each one
   of our nationalities except the Belgian.

   If one met a despicable Belgian, one could say, "You waffle
   person!" Michael Palin as a young Python went creative with
   "Flems", before falling back on "greasy bloody foreigners".
   I don't believe calling them "sprouts" is truly perjorative,
   but "You are an twerp" has potential.

   Belgium - you fuckers forgot the shambles of the Economic
   union where all the 20 members were all corrupted, bunking
   and doing selfish favours. Talking about
   transparency?..............And what about the Belgium UN
   peace keeping force that stationed in genocide-torned
   Rwanda? They literally moved out from of an impending
   massacre? I can never forget that sight. SO belgium go back
   and hide under your rock... and please don;t come out for a
   while until some other country like Luxembury copp-out.
