There's an old French invention you might find quite interesting, they had a tyrany problem a while ago, they built a very efficient piece of machinery, real head turner, I'm trying to remember what it was called, but the only French words I know are Liberté, Egalite, Fraternate and Pain au Chocolat
Yes, the French had a cutting edge technology made just for that. Hopefully, he’ll beheading there shortly. Oh, yeah, “Au Bon Pain” is the French word for “why is that muffin eight bucks?”
It's because you're in France and you've asked for a Muffin. What sort of coffee did you order? Seriously, the French have rioted over lesser insults to their culture.
I believe it. I knew a Brit who visited France and once asked for a Strawberries and Cream at a restaurant (nice British dessert). The waiter was highly insulted said “no” several times, each time louder in a short sharp indignant tone. He brought a chef out who also berated him for such a request.
Oh I do love that French waiter style 'Non' it's very definitive. We should chip in to have some follow members of the regime around to fact check whenever they say/do something wildly corrupt and illegal. If I spoke French I'd sign up meself, but Irish is less useful as we don't have a word for No
I’ve heard that about Gaelic - negation is a complex structure, and saying “no” beats around the bush with subtleties and contextual nuances. He still couldn’t have his Strawberries and Cream until he left France tied to a rail.
Makes us great salesmen though, if you've gone to a Gaelscoil as a child you kinda naturally form your sentences in the Irish manner and now you've an answer for everything. Yer mate should hop on a ferry to Ireland next time, best strawberries in the world come from Wexford.
lol.
