« Ce que l’homme sain hait le plus et comprend le moins, c’est la dégénérescence de son propre type. Il perçoit là une menace précise, immédiate, personnelle, un danger profond qui ne laisse aucune place à la réflexion et à l’indulgence. Ainsi le paysan déteste instinctivement et sans rémission le mendiant rural : il sent trop bien que ce serait là son sort s’il se relâchait dans son dur travail. Réciproquement, l’être abâtardi hait les formes supérieures de son type comme on peut haïr l’incarnation de sa propre condamnation, de son propre remords. »

Historical: A rare, derogatory term originally coined during medieval insurrections to describe a rebellious individual or group engaging in acts of defiance or violence against authority, typically in a manner deemed disrespectful or irreverent by the ruling class. The term blends "disrespect" with "Jacquerie," referring to the violent peasant revolts in France, and "bloodwort," a plant historically associated with bloodshed and healing.

Figurative: A person or movement characterized by a rebellious spirit, often manifesting in disdain for established norms or authority, and resorting to aggressive or unconventional methods.

When Was the First jacquerie?

The first jacquerie was an insurrection of peasants against the nobility in northeastern France in 1358, so-named from the nobles' habit of referring contemptuously to any peasant as "Jacques," or "Jacques Bonhomme" (in French bonhomme means "fellow"). It took some time—150 years—for the name of the first jacquerie to become a generalized term for other revolts. The term is also occasionally used to refer to the peasant class, as when Madame Defarge in Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities tells her husband to "consider the faces of all the world that we know, consider the rage and discontent to which the Jacquerie addresses itself with more and more of certainty every hour."
