It's amazing how many groups adopt derogatory terms used against them and take them to heart, reappropriating the terms to become words that they use to each other.The most prevelant one in the US would have to be the N-word (something that white people aren't even able to type but that younger African-Americans call each other constantly.)
A little less well-known is the slang name frog for French-speaking people the world 'round.
Apparently, some of those French people have taken the name Frogs to heart.
Please help me in welcoming to the world the Quebec Jumping Frogs of the American Basketball Association.
Speaking of the ABA - there seem to be fifty-eight teams in the league with ten more coming. What the hell?
