Ooooh, cool! I'm trying to clean up my language (ICU nurses could make a sailor blush) and I like mercredi!
I had a great french teacher who taught me lots! And do you mean putain? See, I can type it! :twisted: Lets not split hairs. In french, so I'm told that's really rude! Something about flies? hehehe And what about "va te faire voir"?
Of course if you want to call someone something stronger than a jackass, the Greek word is "malaka" pronounced "ma LA ka". :mrgreen:
