During the Hundred Years' War and many other conflicts between England and France in the Middle Ages, the French came to call the English (and especially its infantry) les goddamns or les goddams after their frequent expletives. Sir Richard Burton also points out the equivalent adoption of Godames in Brazil and Gotama in Somalia. The term godons was used by Joan of Arc with the same purpose, and the forms goddam, goddem and godden also derive from that expression.
