Last Updated on April 3, 2020

Знаете ли вы, как в Англии «уходят по-английски», а точнее, не попрощавшись? Они уходят по-французски, «take French leave».  А французы винят по всем англичан, говоря «filer à l’anglaise», хотя на русский и то, и другое переводится как «уйти по-английски».

По одной из версий, это выражение появилось в период Семилетней войны, в которой Англия и Франция враждовали. Во время затяжных сражений обе стороны друг друга высмеивали, и англичане саркастично говорили про французскую сторону — мол, они любят «уходить по-французски». Таким образом они делали акцент на частых случаях дезертирства во французской армии, а также постоянных самоволках. Обидевшись, французы стали так же говорить про англичан.
