To lighten the mood - joke du jour

Bouillabaisse

Tres fishy

Pourquoi l'éléphant peint ses ongles d'orteil rouge?
Parce qu'elle veut se cacher dans un arbre de cerisier.

Maintenant is my favourite French word, for now.

I think you need to work on your timing. I read this and the comma is a short pause for breathe. There is no sense of anticipation for the punch line and no proper build up to the delivery.

The tinkly bell hatted pixie known as "Noddy" translates as "Oui, Oui" in French and is much loved by English children who enjoy toilet humour!

Maintenant is my favourite French word, for now.

The only other French word for now that I can think of is actuellement, so i assume this is your least favorite French word for now?

Was there a time when you preferred actuellement, or have you always been an actuellement hater?

I made up a sort-of-joke while cooking yesterday and would welcome the considered feedback of NSC's resident experts.


"I'm making a brine, but the pesky salt crystals just won't dissolve. C'mon guys. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem."



No? Oh well, please yourselves then.

Don't forget that while watching Oui-Oui, the French kids are probably drinking Pschitt lemonade.

Oh how we laughed.

My favourite French word is bibliotheque - and that's not supposed to be a joke.

Mine is "prestidigitateur". Learnt it at school when I was about 8 years old. Never forgotten.

What's French for "midfielder"? I bet it's not as cool as the word the Spanish and Italian have for it: CENTROCAMPISTA

Is there a cooler word for anything in any language? No, there isn't.

 

[KingstonSeagull]

Pomplemoose

 

[Simster]

Funny but not as cool.

A good one for NSC... L'esprit de l'escalier.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

As my grandad used to say:

'Can I ave orses doofers? Murky buckets!'

It is reported that when Voltaire was the guest of Frederick the Great at Sanssouci Palace, they exchanged puzzle notes. Frederick sent over a page with two picture blocks on it: two hands below the letter P, and then the number 100 below a picture of a handsaw, all followed by a question mark. Voltaire replied with: Ga!

Anyone know how to solve this Rebus puzzle?

Merde, your only supposed to kick the bloody doors off.

German soup? I hope it was Spargelsuppe.

I've got this bit... Cent sous scie = Sanssouci... not sure about the first bit or the reply.

Deux mains sous P = Demain souper (soup tomorrow)

Ga is "big G little A" or in French G grand, a petit.

= J'ai grand appetit. (I'm hungry.)

Nice. I think 'souper' means evening meal (like supper).
