Might be un-neighborly, but it sure seems to fit.

This is pretty un-neighborly, but where I came from in Illinois, we used to refer to people that speak in gibberish and then run away as 'Pierre'...

You know, kind of like the military accomplishments of the French throughout the 20th century...."Run away! Run away!"

Actually, that's not fair. They tended to surrender quicker than it would take to run away....
