Squidleybits has started intensive full time French language training and she needs to learn some important phrases not covered by her instructor, such as;

My husband is a:

dumbass
dink
brain fart
pylon

etc, etc, etc...

The only french I ever learned was from Dexter's Lab, and I just recently learned it's incorrect anyway.

Well, of course there was that one other phrase I learned from Lady Marmalade, but I hardly think that appropriate.

Merde-tete (shit head)

Il avez un zeze petite (He has a little pee-pee)

those are fantastic!

If I ask the question in french, will you tell what the f bomb is? (I never claimed to be mature)

Capote anglaise = "English raincoat" = condom
Baisser = to schtoink
Faire l'amour = to schtoink with heart

dumbass - con
dink - epais
f bomb - colisse, asti, tabarnaque....

To get good marks in class, "Si je te fais voir mes seins, et ce que j'aurais mon note de passage?"

Pas s'il est adonné aux plaisirs.

Peut-être qu'il aime la bite.

My conjugation is most likely terrible. It's been well over a decade since I took a french class.

My instructor isn't the examiner! An interesting idea for sure though

I do love the fact that the slang word for penis is the english word bite.

Pronounced completely differently.

Yeah, it's pronounced like Beat.[DOUBLEPOST=1350091688][/DOUBLEPOST]

It is literally translated like pee-pee, it's what a little kid would call a penis.

It also means you're welcome in German.

So when a German guy goes to a French guy, "Bitte", wars get started.

Bitte is pronounced slightly differently, but yeah, it's one of those words that can cause issues.

like "J'ai femme" and "J'ai faim"

Best way to learn French cuss words is to play hockey.

Mon canard est en feu!

My duck is hot?

My duck is on fire? Does canard have another meaning?

I have to write a story about my weekend tomorrow!

Apparently it's a warcry used by French Canadian lumberjacks.

Hey, blame Howard Tayler...

Bear in mind that Jay's slang is HEAVILY slanted towards Qubecois, which while provincial, might not always be understood by all francophones.



The f-bomb in mainland French is more likely to be putain - "Putain merde!" F****** s***!

You can work that one like an adverb, too... "Cettes putaneries!" This f****** mess/problems!

There's all sorts of ways you can work the language, just like in English.

Fetchez la vache.

Quoi?

Fetchez la vache!

"C'est un cadeau."

"Quoi?"

"Un geeft."

"Oh!"

Thanks guys! I only have the first few workbooks and they lack certain conversation fundamentals

Working on my little story about my weekend now using the past tense!

Vineyard isn't in my French English dictionary

Je pense que c'est... un vignoble.

J'ai te surpris? J'ai étudie francais dans la lycée... il y a beaucoup d'années et j'ai beaucoup oublié, bien sur.

Est-ce que il y a un mot pour "douchebag" en francais?

(J'aime excuse, mon ordinateur ne peut pas faire les accents)

Salaud, fils de pute, je pense que c'est l'un ou l'autre...

Nom de Dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperies de connards d'enculé de ta mère. It's like wiping your arse with silk, I love it.

gros con

I think that's the only thing in that movie I liked

Well, the car chase was cool in parts.

Fils de pute is "whoreson" and salaud is "bastard". I think douchebag is used more to refer to a specific type of jerk, no?

Also, North's was best, but most of the french phrases I saw so far in this thread mmade my ears itch. There's...umm...room for improvement. My french is reasonable, but you'd probably be best of tagging some people whose native language is french. Mathk242 comes to mind but he doesn't seem to be around anymore?

C'est seulment mon cinquieme semaine! Mais j'ai besoin de savoir quelques mots qui ne sont pas dans mes livres.
