: : In response the the jibe
to US servicemen in Europe during WWII of "Over-paid, over-sexed, and over here",
there was a comeback aimed at the Brits. It was "Under-paid, under-sexed, and
under Eisenhower."
: A message from old Europe... Not that I would want to cause
friction, what with our glorious UK/US leaders being so in love, but the real
gibe is in the part of this phrase that I left out - 'overdue'.
And in the case
of the Brits you might add 'underestimated' and 'underappreciated' - especially
by the French.
