I think something I'm never going to get over is the fact that in French, you can't say suffering (suffrance) without saying France.

@blame-blam oh my god xD. Okay. Okay. Wait. This probably won't be a very good translation, but I'll try to make it as understandable as possible Okay. First one: "-sir, what does it mean when English people say 'touché'? -To do short, they use it when someone dropped a good punchline. -Oh yeah, and how would we say in French then? -Well, uh... You can translate it with 'ZBREH' or 'PO PO POOO' French Elegance *sunglasses face*" Now a bit of explaining. 'Zbreh' and 'Po po pooo' is basicaly just noises french people do after someone dropped a good punchline. You gotta roll the r in 'zbreh' to have the sound make its full effect or something? And for 'po po pooo' you gotta go crescendo? It's mainly teenagers who use this anyway. Adults tend to just gasp and shake one of their hand while making an "O" with their mouth The second one: "In french we don't say 'leave me alone' we say 'you're pathetic, you're a pain in my ass, go on, talk to my hand, if you don't understand, it means, forget about me, hum hum' and I think that's beautiful" Now, this particular piece is taken from a song by a humorist called Michael Youn, who had a brief carreer as a singer/rapper a few years back. I was like 12 when this song came out? And basically, he teamed up with another French singer called Yelle, and he dressed as a girl (Christelle was the name of his character, and she was supposed to be the sister of his rapper alter ego, Fatal Bazooka) and well, the chorus mentionned in the tweet is kinda catchy, and a lot of people still use it to this day, but I kinda found the song distasteful. So yeah, French. I hope this was helpful, darling :)
