ViveLaFrance! Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Trois Anglais reviennent de France et comparent leurs souvenirs à propos du bizarre mot "cuiller", si nécessaire pour prendre le thé. Le premier dit qu'en français c'est un mot du genre masculin car on dit en France: J'ai lavé mon cul-hier. Le deuxième dit que c'est un mot du genre féminin car les Français disent: J'ai lavé ma queue-hier. Le troisième Anglais pense que c'est plutôt un mot au pluriel car il a entendu les Français dire: J'ai lavé mes couilles-hier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Now I think that this one is funny. Is it really a french joke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViveLaFrance! Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 Yes. Have you ever heard a French personn speaking English:Ail ou radis?

chessfou Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Eucch! Is it really true that the French, a day after washing theircouilles, put them in their mouths and only then put them into thelave-vessie-elles? No wonder the French health system is so superior tothe NHS - it needs to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 There is a wonderful translation link on another thread on here and I'm surprised that the rude picker on the forhum didn't drop 'couilles'. Mind you I must admit that anyone who can get their nuts in their mouth has my admiration.It's like the guy who was watching his mate's dog in the pub. He was sitting there licking his knuts, as they do, and the guy said "I wish I could do that". His mate said "Ask him nicely, he may just let you"![;)]John.

Patf Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I never heard that word before,John, but found out what"cul" meant after asking the man in the market for " six poulets culnu" meaning those without feathers on their necks. He flashed me aweird incredulous look. Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 In a similar vein to ViveLaFrance's reply above about the way theFrench pronounce English, can anyone work out what this means (see itas a kind of riddle - answers on a postcard please...):Un petit d'un petitS’étonne au hallUn petit d’unpetitAh !

Neil Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 You can find Rob G's verse and many like it in this book. The footnotes alone are worth the price:e.g. Un petit d'un petit - the inevitable result of a child marriage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJT Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hi Christine, what a lovely site. However, I seem to remember that you were located in the Dordogne. Did you recently move? Or do you also have a shelter in the Dordogne as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Thank you WJT. No, we have never been in the Dordogne, perhaps you are mixing up with Phoenix in the Dordogne, Sheelagh and Rik Johnson, who are good friends and doing marvellous rescue work (who doesn't know the Sheeriks!).
