Non.

Though I studied it 5 years in high school.

In those days it was still considered the second diplomatic language; Spanish would have had more utility.

Favorite pick-up line in Paris, horribly translated from English:

"Avez-vous l'Américain dans vous ? vous en aiment ?"

Somebody parrot that back at me in English, to see if it translates. 8)

It 'sort of' makes sense. It would be a logical question if asked to someone coming out of a cannibal restaurant that specialized in american cuisine.

The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

Yeah, exactly. We thought it was cool at the time. :-D


Is 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.
