@bang Well, you'll find a lot more French toots these days because it's the elections and the birdsite is particularly toxic...

But starting tomorrow, at least it won't be the weekend so many won't be here all day... Though the elections will still be an issue for 2 weeks, sorry. ^^°

@boots @oceangrunge @TipsyTentacle @Alda was talking about it (in French) this morning:

Guys were telling random users that they're banned from here, according to a mysterious "ban list" they swore they saw on the github but of course can't quite find anymore... I'm guessing "in protest" of Alda's strict moderation policy? It's... weird. %D

@sempervirenx @candle Yeah, they're dripping with sexism... but damn, the melody STICKS once it's entered your head! xD

@Murkrow What do you have trouble with? I thought the compound past was the LESS difficult of our past tenses, since it's a lot of the same participle repeated? ^^°

@Hiraelle Tu te souviens pas, le client qui l'avait payée avec un PARPAING de savon de Marseille, qu'elle a refilé à quelqu'un d'autre... et qui lui est revenu, via un AUTRE client, six mois après?! :D

@Hiraelle Refile-le à Nordy! xD xD xD

@candle Yes, but it's just the first line - the song is about wine: "Let's drink and taste whether the wine is good" - "I will drink five or six bottles, a woman on my lap" - "If I die, I want to be buried in a cave filled with good wine" - "Both feet up against the wall, and the head beneath the tap", etc...

(Sorry, here scouts are often a far-right organization, but it's the only good video I found for the melody)

@candle omg, "oui oui oui" brings to mind a *drinking song*, I'm gonna have it stuck in my head the whole day... xD

The lyrics would be very confusing to you because the song dates back to AT LEAST the 18th century (our drinking songs are some of the greatest traditions in France, we ALL know them! xD ) but in case you're curious:

On s'est mal compris, sans doute les mauvaises habitudes de l'oiseau bleu. Y'avait aucun énervement... :<

@Efi @candle There are limits to the power of imperialism.

British cuisine never got very far outside its island... :<

@candle Note that this is so much not a thing, the wiki page has only been translated into POLISH, because reasons. :p

@candle Nope, apparently it's YOUR thing:

@candle Oh, and just like svp, you can use "stp" in short messages, it's as much used. :<

In Frenchie toots & tweets, you might come across the styled "steuplé", which is a deformation of "s'il te plaît" we often use (or maybe it's just the Parisians, who knows... :p )

@candle I guess it qualifies as an idiom anyway, the impersonal demonstrative is weird and counter intuitive... but I hear it so often, I thought it was a simple phrase... ^///^°

@candle Also, i thought I wrote it down, but the proper grammar should have been "ça NE rigole plus", but I'm too French to remember the 'ne' in common sentences. My Bad. :x )
