* GoodSamaritan: ''"Chanson pour l'Auvergnat"'' is one of the most famous illustrations of this trope in French pop culture. Specifically, in Brassens's time Auvergnats had a reputation of being stingy, and somewhat unpleasant, in a way France's AcceptableTargets version of the GreedyJew trope, to the extent that an older cabinet minister in the 2000s tried to pass a joke going ''"when there's one it's fine, when there's more of them that's when trouble happens!"'' as being about ''Auvergnats''. It's possible that this song is what made it a DeadHorseTrope today.

French troper here. The French word "con" has both meanings. In this specific context, it does mean "fool".

* {{Bowdlerise}}: Surprisingly (and quite ironically), many English translation of ''Le Roi'' translate phrase ''le Roi de con'' as "king of fools", despite the word in question referring instead to CountryMatters. The Polish translation was pretty spot on, though.
