tracteurtom Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Hahahaha, that explains a lot, thanks Albert ! I wondered why the french go all coy when I talked about air c0n and insist on calling it clim [:D]That'll be today's word for me. It just shows how careful you need to be - if in doubt, say nowt !

Christine Animal Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Tracteurtom. The word you mentioned, but which we are not allowed to type also means "very stupid". He is a con, he is an idiot. But it can also be used between pals in a friendly way such as when someone does something daft, you can say "que tu es con!" The act of being con is doing a connerie.But if you ask someone if they have "l'air con", you are not asking them if they have clim, but if they look like a real fool! [:P]Hope this has helped as much as your knowledge on the tracteurs. [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracteurtom Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Wow Christine, yes that does help, thanks. Funny how asking something in English that makes perfect sense is an insult in French ! I think I'll just stay away from that little 3 letter word as my Franglish is well mixed up [:)] Its a beauty of mechanical things and animals, they dont answer back and make you feel a fool (or should that be con [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassis Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Deux petits oiseaux arrivent à l'école pour la première fois. "Je suis un faucon", se vante le premier, "un oiseau royal". "Je dirais qu' t'es un vrai c o n ", répond l'autre. Boum-boum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
