Rather than empathy with what I might imagine a snake or frog might feel, I was sufficiently absorbed in snakeness and frogness as to wonder how the humans around me might feel.

frogess

Do Frogs like children? I am not terribly convinced they do. Before I get pelted with tomatoes by indignant Frogesses, could I simply ask you to draw your own conclusion from the large number of abusive terms used to describe children? Our “brats” is nothing compared with the variety of French names that have the same meaning but are too often used instead of “kids.”

1986, Genevière Edis, ““Le Français méprise la jeunesse””, in Merde Encore!: More of the Real French You Were Never Taught at School, New York, N.Y.: Fireside Books, published 1998, →ISBN, chapter X, “Allons enfants”, page 82:

— I go on. To Dover and then take ship for France. / — God help us, you are indeed up. That sounds like state business. / — War on the papists. / — For God’s sake leave at least the English papishes alone, they have suffered enough. There is enough trouble here with the frogs and frogesses. The little froglings would grow up into proper Kent citizens if they were permitted to speak our tongue.

1993, Anthony Burgess, A Dead Man in Deptford, part one, London: Hutchinson, →ISBN, page 37:

‘What would it involve?’ / ‘Living off the fat of the land in my room at the château. Local wine with meals twice a day. Unlimited. Lunch and dine with the director, an old army chap called Bagnolet, who’s got an English wife, Lucy. And the students of course.’ / ‘But the work?’ / ‘Nothing to it. Conversation in English all day with frogesses from the very best families. It’s a finishing school for girls – and you’re not to touch them.’
