There was a good Monty Python sketch about what to call Belgiams.

Prejudiced sketch (remind you of anyone? :-) )

Tonight's show comes live from the tiny village of Rabid in
Buckinghamshire, and our first question tonight is from a Mrs
Elizabeth Scrint who says she is going on a Mediterranean cruise next
week and can't find anything wrong with the Syrians. Well, Mrs
Scrint, apart from being totally unprincipled left-wing
troublemakers, the Syrians are also born skivers, they're dirty,
smelly and untrustworthy, and, of course, they're friends of the
awful gippos. (applause) There you are, Mrs Scrint, I hope that
answers some of your problems - have a nice trip. (more applause)
Well now, the result of last week's competition when we asked you to
find a derogatory term for the Belgians. Well, the response was
enormous and we took quite a long time sorting out the winners. There
were some very clever entries. Mrs Hatred of Leicester Said 'let's
not call them anything, let's just ignore them' ... (applause starts
vigorously, but he holds his hands up for silence) ... and a Mr St
John of Huntingdon said he couldn't think of anything more derogatory
than Belgians. (cheers and applause; a girl in showgirl costume comes
on and holds up placards through next bit) But in the end we settled
on three choices: number three ... the Sprouts (placard 'The
Sprouts'😉, sent in by Mrs Vicious of Hastings... very nice ; number
two..... the Phlegms (placard) ... from Mrs Childmolester of
Worthing; but the winner was undoubtedly from Mrs No-Supper-For-You
from Norwood in Lancashire... Miserable Fat Belgian [censored].
(placard; roar of applause) Very good - thank you, Carol. (Carol
exits) But as you know on this programme we're not just prejudiced
against race or colour, we're also prejudiced against - yes, you've
guessed, stinking homosexuals! (applause) So before the streets start
emptying in Chelsea tonight, Let's go straight over to our popular
prejudiced panel game and invite you once again to - Shoot The [censored]!
