Well Minnie Driver used it as the reason Samantha Bee shouldn’t have called Ivanka a “feckless cunt” when she told her “He listens to you. Put on something low-cut and tell him it’s an Obama move” back in 2018 (The Boys starts in 2019) but even then she said she was paraphrasing the French, because supposedly it’s an older classic French diplomatic insult.
Edit to add: I tried putting it in French, and switching the order of depth and warmth, and trying the feminine, and Google French AI insists it’s “often attributed to Dorothy Parker,” and added “ni la charme” but then gave no examples of her saying it, and she’s also known to have quoted older insults and made them her own. But interestingly it gave several references to Romans 8:28 (or thereabouts, depending on translation) which would be familiar enough to historical people to add another element to the insult. As if I were to say, “Ain’t no mountain high enough to keep him from a cheeseburger.”
Cunt is too good for him
He has neither the depth nor the warmth
Nor the strength
Is that a Billy Butcher quote or has someone said that before him?

I thought it was Churchill , but I might be thinking of a different quote
Any insult towards him is disrespectful towards anyone else that can also fit that insult
