NormanH Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Sometimes when a joke depends on a double meaning that doesn't exist in the other language you just can't translate them, for example :Il faut cueillir les cerises avec la queue. J'avais déjà du mal avec la main ! " Coluche ( 1944-1986[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardian Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Surely, we’re wasting our time even thinking about possibly ‘translatable’ jokes. The French don’t get our ‘black humour’ and we don’t get their ............ !!! Let’s just say that they really like (or did like) the Benny Hill stuff.Actually, our Belgian (Walloon) neighbour’s sense of humour is closer to ours than any French that I’ve met.
