In my defense, I’ve long thought it was really offensive based almost entirely on a plot point from a book that is going to date me horribly, being Scott Young’s hockey classic Scrubs on Skates. https://www.amazon.ca/Scrubs-Skates-.../dp/0771090889 Rosy the French Canadian kid lost his mind over being called a frog and equated it to being called a chink and that always stuck with me. Haha. Oh well. |
You're not wrong. Frog is in reference to french people eating frogs which many people consider weird or gross. It's meant to be offensive and you can imagine how other races/cultures would take it if you made fun of what they ate... I won't give examples.
That being said, I don't think anyone meant anything by it and we can all move on.
