Jo53 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 When will the French actually bother to look up the meaning of the English words that they seem to prefer to their own language for just about everything? ;-)Seen in the newsagents (in France) today:magazine for young girls (10-14ish) called 'Witch'.The cover design was pastel pink and girly, not a goth in sight. Spotted on a cardboard graffitti-covered 'wall' in a clothes shop window display: the graffittied word 'arse'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo53 Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 oh for goodness sake, can't you say 'arse' on the forum. I didn't know the new system came complete with big brother software. Yes, that's right, I typed alpha romeo charlie echo and it was automatically changed to arse!! How frightfully cunning.The word the powers that be think we would all be to shocked to see is 'ar*e', as in Arsenal FC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
