Heehee! I so want to try those out Dark One! If only I had a passable french accent. WOE.
The only one I know is:
*Bonjour ma chéri, je suis avocat et je conduit un Mercedes. Voulez vous danser?
Sorry, my french is terrible but I think it means:
Hi there darling, I'm a lawyer and I drive a Mercedes, do you want to dance?
OR Hi there darling, I'm an avocado and I drive a Mercedes, do you want to dance?
Hehe, those crazy french, same word for lawyer and avocado.

Not so crazy, I can see the similarity.
I dare someone to: go to the top of the eiffel tower, take all their clothes off and shout out all of the above, adding at the end 'je ne suis pas fou, je suis un igloo!' (excuse the bad french)

hehehe that was funny.
I have this calendar that has a new phrase every day and I love finding colloquial ones that have funny literal translations.
Such as
Je parle du nez - which literally means 'I speak from my nose' but is used for 'I get very emotional'.
Revenons à nos moutons - which is used for 'let's get back to the point' but is liteally 'let's get back to our sheep'.
le rat de bibliothèque - which is 'library rat'...used instead of bookworm, actually kind of makes more sense than bookworm.
and my favourite...
Allons-nous faire le poireau toute la journée? - which is literally 'Are we going to act like a leek all day?', which is used for 'Are we going to wait around all day?'
I just love french

ME TOO! J'adore le francais! hehe I did it for two years in year 9 and year 10  in year 11 now...got no time for french! hehe Someone should translate this stuff into french, its funny in english : "You gotta be willing to shape a few buffaloes if u wanna get somewhere in the opera!" "Stop pickling the issue!" or "you're making a pickle of urself!" and a personal favourite of mine - "I enjoy stapling wombats to my FACE!" hehehe |
