ORIGINAL: MHOO314 quote:
See "baise-moi" is informal. "S'il-vous-plaît, baisez-moi" would be most formal. (pronounced: seal voo pleh, beyzay mwah) - LA ok so if its fuck you does one just add vous ( sp?) instead? Not quite... "Baise-moi" is "Fuck-me" but baise is not a literally translation of fuck. Baise is derived from the noun un baiser which is a kiss. The French are so romantic... fucking is a deep kiss. Now if you want to tell someone to fuck off in French, there are a variety of non-literal ways to do it: - French from France style: the literal would be "va-te-faire foutre" which literally translates to "go get yourself fucked". - French Québécois/Canadian style: "tu peux te le fourrer!" which literally translates to "stuff it into yourself". Also, foutre are fourrer are not a bad word. Foutre simply means to be shoved or applied with force and fourrer means stuffed (often used in cooking, such as "des pâtes fourrées" which is stuffed-shells pasta, not fucked pasta). But it is the closest translation to the word fuck in that sense of the word fuck because we know the word fuck is the most versatile word in the English dictionary! quote:
ORIGINAL: MHOO314 I want you to know, My daughter and I adore Canada, as a child I spent many summers in Montreal and of course the only real side to Niagra Falls--this fall we spent a long weekend at a B&B there and went to St. Catherine's for saddle shopping ( yes for real horses you bad Dommes--smiles)-- and yes we drove, 15 hours door to door--My daughter loves it, the men are gorgeous (and that's just at the border crossing--LOL) and the shopping awesome and the people divine!--but seriously, the problem with Coulter and the like is not them it is us--we in fact dial in to watch that stuff, we go and see them--that's ratings and ratings far surpass good judgement ( look at Howard Stern---egads)--when we stop listening, they will be silenced-- I know! All the Americans I know love Canada. When I go to the US, I always get treated so well and trust me, I feel the love! Which is why I fell flat on my ass when I saw that video… - LA
