Subsequent use in Blunt Talk

This was used in episode 1x08 of Blunt Talk. "The heckler continues, “Plagiarist! J’accuse!” When Blunt Talk gets cartoonish, it usually involves something broad and physical like slapstick." ^[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.241.203.137 (talk)

Neologism category

@Dimadick:, Regarding this edit: the new category is more specific, admittedly, but should that category be there at all? "J'accuse" is a new idiomatic expression, perhaps, (or maybe not) and a highly notable quotation, but not a neologism. Maybe this category should simply be removed.

How can it be a new expression, but not a neologism? Dimadick (talk) 21:36, 1 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Or, maybe it isn't a new expression?

Examples of J'accuse before 1898.

Je lève la main et j'accuse! j'accuse! j'accuse! . L'ANCIEN. Qui accuses-tu? ÙACCUSATEUR. J'accuse, sur la corde et le glaive, Adélaide de Weislingen. (Goethe; 1860)^[1]
Aussi , lui , je ne l ' accuse pas , mais j ' accuse le citoyen Lorin , j ' accuse le citoyen Maurice , j ' accuse la bouquetière . C ' est tous des traîtres à la nation ! J ' accuse ! j ' accuse ! ROCHER . Bien ! bien ! vous y sauterez tous ! (Dumas; 1893)^[2]
J'accuse le gouvernement provisoire d'avoir , sans utilité , sans motif , sans justice , par la plupart de ses actes , fomenté la division entre la classe travailleuse et la classe bourgeoise , et compromis , par cette détestable politique... (Proudhon; 1875)^[3]
J'accuse le ministre de n'avoir fait verser aurait du moins servi à intimider les individus aux bureaux des sections qu'une partie des gros qu'elle concerne. (1888)^[4]
Ainsi » donc , j ' accuse de trahison la commune même , les » petits et les grands , les vieillards et les enfants , et » les femmes , et les morts , et les vivants , et ceux » même qui ne sont pas encore nés . J ' accuse dans » votre Zamora les places, les rues et depuis la plus humble masure jsuq'au plus superbe palais; j'accuse le pain, la viande, l'eau, le vin; j'accuse les oiseaux de l'air et les poissons de la riviere : j'accuse tout ce quie sert a soutenir votre existence. (1882)^[5]
J'accuse aussi un ministre d'avoir fait une note criminelle , odieuse ; qu'il la dénie , je l'en délie ! (1876)^[6]

J'accuse is the standard conjugation of the verb accuser at the first person; as such, it is naturally present in the french language for a long time. It has with the Dreyfus affair taken on a more specific undertone, but that doesn't make it a neologism. — Alien 3
