"avec"----- Japanese old people use this word in the meaning of " two people having a sexual or romantic relationship". Young people use "couple" in stead of "avec".
"pantalon"-----long pants for ladies ,especially with wide legs

Thanks, Monsieur. It may be a interesting thread. In America, he is not so famous, isn't he ?

One of my personal favourites:
'La mouche est morte'
My old family home was at the end of a 'cul de sac'. Babel Fish tells me this translates to 'bottom of bag' - not quite the translation I was expecting.
Do the French still go away for 'le weekend'??
And of course where would one be without Monty Python’s
‘mon aéroglisseur est plein des anguilles’
 "I've rejoined the Cult of Ming / Star of favourite childhood movie of 1980" |
