$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')s this really an insult in French? I read it somewhere.

"Tabernac!, Choleque de merde!"

I can't believe that it would be a common insult.


Quebecois. The French language in Quebec is an older form of French...basically brought over centuries ago and evolved outside of French in Europe. As a consequence it tends to be less anglanizied. For example in French you would say " faire de shopping" whereas in most parts of Quebec you would more likely say "faire de magazinez" ...or in France you would say "le weekend" in Quebec you might say " le fin de semaine".
Oh also if you are speaking French in Quebec it helps if someone has just punched you in the nose....gives it that proper nasal twang. :wink:

Thanks for clarifying that. Now that you mention it, I do remember having picked that up off of a Canadian website. Do you have the translation for that particular quote into english? (just to figure out what it really means...) 8)

Der Bahnhof ist da wo die Schienen alle hinlaufen. Diese dauernde Gelaber auf Englisch geht einem eigentlich auf den Wecker wenn man nicht selbst einer von denen ist, die damit aufgewachsen sind. Lotrfan hat vollkommen recht hier einen französischen thread anzufangen, sehr erfrischend. Auch wenn sie auf deutsch eigentlich ein recht verlottertes Luder sein sollte, zumindest ihrem online- Namen zufolge.

Ca fait longtemps que je parle francais.

J'allais an une ecole francaise quand j'etais petite. Et j'habitais a Paris il y'a quelques annees.

Mais maintenant, j'etude el espanol.

C'est une langue plus utile ici dans les Etas Unis.

Y el espanol es muy facil.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('babel says albente', 'T')he station is where the rails all walk. This continuing Gelaber on English does not go to one actually on the bell if one one of those is, which grew up thereby. Lotrfan has to begin a French perfectly quite here thread, very recreating. Even if it should be on German actually a quite verlottertes Luder, at least its on-line according to names.


Merci, aussi.

That "Gelaber" and "verlottertes Luder" ( a whore gone to the dogs??) made me toss me deutsche buch hinauf.

Lottrfan is not a "verottertes Luder" by default, neither is the babel translation in any form correct (subtelty on top is an unkonwn to those computer translating programs).

A "Luder" in German has a rather positive connotation refering to female that simply is not a prude, that's all. I hope Lotrfan is a verlottertes Luder.
