Subsequent use in Blunt Talk

edit

This was used in episode 1x08 of Blunt Talk. "The heckler continues, “Plagiarist! J’accuse!” When Blunt Talk gets cartoonish, it usually involves something broad and physical like slapstick." [1]  Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.241.203.137 (talk)

Neologism category

edit

@Dimadick:, Regarding this edit: the new category is more specific, admittedly, but should that category be there at all? "J'accuse" is a new idiomatic expression, perhaps, (or maybe not) and a highly notable quotation, but not a neologism. Maybe this category should simply be removed.

How can it be a new expression, but not a neologism? Dimadick (talk) 21:36, 1 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Or, maybe it isn't a new expression?

J'accuse is the standard conjugation of the verb accuser at the first person; as such, it is naturally present in the french language for a long time. It has with the Dreyfus affair taken on a more specific undertone, but that doesn't make it a neologism. — Alien 3
