Regarding the "pisse-froid" thing:

Alfred Dreyfus est un homme profondément patriote et s'il n'avait pas été la victime de cette affaire il eût été certainement anti-dreyfusard!! C'est enfin un homme intransigeant, hautain, peu liant avec ses camarades officiers. Il est un "pisse-froid" comme l'on dit alors dans l'armée. [1]

Perhaps someone would like to translate this and incorporate it into the article. --Ed Poor


Well, the article you are referring to says that "pisse-froid" belongs to the military slang of the time. The designation of Dreyfus as such and the rest of the "humourous" comments seem to be only the creation of the author of the article. The fact that this derogatory comments have been made by the author of another article does not justify that we should include it in the 'pedia. That would be OK if it had been (or actually has been) written in a newspaper or report of the time. - User:Olivier
