This entry does not mince words in its description of French profanity. Surely many innovative new French curses were dreamed up and minced, literally and figuratively, at the guillotine. All this fowl language; could there be a faux pas in the faux gras? This is probably a stupid joke in French but it sounded funny in English. Thank you for the read, and the lesson.

haha. They have already given us the Status of Liberty. Now we want the Eiffel Tower. By the way, the Eiffel Tower looks prettier with color. But it doesn't have to be red, blue and white.
Well done and get better soon. You can write and post so you are doing Okay.

I had fun with this one! The research indicates this meaning I wrote about came later--I thought it would be the most amusing to focus on. HIgh time for the French to turn the tables! I wish the pic hadn't looked like the American flag!
