What are Parisians known for?

Question

What is distinctive or unique about the people of Paris?

Answer 1

Being rude. At least, that is the general consensus from outsiders, but I wouldn't want to generalize about all Parisians.

Answer 2

under arm hair

Answer 3

FRIES!!!

Answer 4

Parisians are insolent, they don't give their trust to any parachuted cretin, they are the heart of all historical revolutions, they worship culture and brilliant speech - they have a very sarcastic humour which is often misunderstood.

They are very independent, but like to believe that they know all around Paris the best place to buy their wine, then best one to buy their veggies , then best place to buy their socks etc - etc

Each parisian is a huge puzzle in himself - a unique personality, full of unexpected corners and tricks - kind of people whom you worship or hate - People without wit generally hate us, or classify us in the "rude" category -

The best thing which represents parisians is coffee black, and bitter chocolate - you like or dislike - if you dislike that's your problem  ;o)))
