Agreed...one could say "oh it's just lighthearted", but I've heard people talk like that plenty. To which I would say "You chose to date someone you thought looked like a frog?"

Well, why did you marry him in the first place?

Someone said in German "frog" ((ein/der) Frosch?) is an insulting term for a Frenchman. This is possibly from English:

"As a British derogatory term for "Frenchman," 1778 (short for frog-eater), but before that (1650s) it meant "Dutch" (from frog-land "marshy land," in reference to their country)." -- https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=frog

Of course it can also be complimentary as in the British fore-bearer of a U.S. Navy Se.A.L.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frogman . . .

Sincerely,

Your Froggerty
