FRENCH - The prejudice that anything French is wicked, sexual, and decadent has let Frenchmen in for more than their fair share of abuse in English. Many such expressions date back to 1730-1820, the height of Anglo-French enmity, but some are current and others go back even further." From the "Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins" by Robert Hendrickson (Fact on File, New York, 1997).
"French Kiss" is an obsolete term for what the hyperpatriotic Americans now call a "Freedom Kiss":>

That's like asking who invented oral sex or the handshake or the word hello. You're not going to get a single person's name. And I'm sure that it's been around longer than the french have, they just happened to like it, and made it more popular...
