The Gurrier of Paris

Seeing new French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin described by Le Monde as having been "l'un des premiers guerriers du president" caught our attention because of the resemblance of that [warrior] word to gurrier, the fabled young brats of Dublin streets -- such as in the upper part of this still from U2's video for Pride.

This source plausibly claims that the latter word hails from the former, but we doubt that the aristocratic enarque would be pleased to hear of the association. For one thing, the gurriers could never manage anything like his impeccable tan.
