The phrase achieved significant notoriety and has become a cultural touchstone, particularly in English-speaking contexts, due to its association with stereotypical portrayals of French culture and seduction. Its historical prevalence in popular media has made it widely recognized, often used humorously or ironically to suggest overt flirtation.
