It can, but it'd be anglicism. It would be very obvious to the Quebeckers if one says "nous venons ensemble" or "je viens entre ses seins". ;P I don't know about the European speakers... so... ^^ But that McDo advert, I read it over and over and I can't get the "tongue-in-cheek" meaning in French now. So yeah, I would agree it would be lost in translation. I wasn't sure for the first time when Riley mentioned it. English was clouding my French thoughts then.

Weird... It says 29C/85F on Weather.com After days of temps in the high 20s and low 30s, it finally went down to just 18 (65F). MUCH MUCH MUCH better. I hate the heat/humidty with passion.

Les feux de mon coeur guy.

*collapses on the floor suffering from a major giggling fit* I didn't think of it like *that*. ;D Since you mentioned it... The French title can carry the same tongue-in-cheek meaning as far as I could read it. o,o

Foreplay...........

I live in the most socially liberal province having the highest support for gay marriage on the continent and it's still not unheard of to hear stories about homophobic bullying and homophobia, most especially out in the rural regions and small towns. For example, 2/3 of the Quebeckers said in a poll that they would be uncomfortable seeing gays kissing or sending their kids to class having a gay teacher. I've never experienced it though, despite living here for five years now. It's the same thing in France as well as other Western countries. The parents may mind their own business about the others' sexuality, but when it comes to their kids, it's a whole another story ("not my kids mentality").

Eric... Happy Birthday. Love your fav PA folk.

Make it 2-2, Montreal. I'm waiting for you.

hahahaha I did that a few times too when I was in Spain all tired and jetlagged. That's prolly why. It would prolly happened to me though... a side glass of a rotating door? That's a bit weird and unusual.

Tabarnak. >.<

Graeme... Aussies do that to foreigners to make it raw just to laugh at their faces. Am I right? We all know we mix it with some butter. My Aussie friend was kind enough to tell me that first.

Amen. It's not the hockey fans who did that. Just some morons who think they would make a revolution pissing off the cops and shopkeepers by smashing glasses. f**kers.

I love vegemite. It just grows on you.

Et on f

Doesn't mean they can't party. The police is nice enough to close the downtown block off for them. After what happened last year (windows smashed and police cars burnt), the police has the right mind to send in the riot crew. lol

5-2... Off to the conference finals! GO HABS GO! At least one Canadian team is still trying. I'd hate to tell you all... But... I told you so.

hehe Crosby let two pucks in under his nose during 1st period. It was a bliss having him watch one go in while in the plenty box at 0.36. EDIT1: So awesome... 4-1 with 7:30 left in 2nd.

I actually missed the game. I just read about it on Radio-Canada showing pictures of the Habs fan pouring all over the downtown streets doing an outdoor after-game party. We know when to party too. Imagine a bigger party when they win game seven. They're going to put a HUGE screen in Centre Bell for all fans to watch while the game goes back to Pittsburgh.

The Habs made it game seven now. PLEASE MAKE CROSBY CRY!

True. Nothing wrong with that... It's just the Norwegians make jokes about it apparently. The New World connects to immigrant cultures in a way that could be old-fashioned to the Old World now because the New World cultures are more isolated from the mother country because of time. Hence why habits and languages may sound "older". I heard stories of German and Norwegian speakers visiting Norway and Germany and they were stumped that they cannot understand everything that the Germans and Norwegians were saying because the languages changed a bit and had new vocabulary. You would confuse them easily explaining how to fix the computer, but they would understand well how to... let's say... how to ride a horse. Just like my ex... He speaks Vietnamese, but was completely raised in Montreal. He cannot explain how to work a computer to his parents in Vietnamese, so he must use French to get the point through. Hell, they all don't know how to say "microwave" in Vietnamese... Only in French "micro-onde". It wouldn't be a problem if he were raised mostly in Vietnam then. Just an example of cultural and linguistic isolation from the mother country. ;p I think the Scots eat haggis as much. Just on an occasion me thinks. The Scots I know of mentioned it and enjoyed eating them. Just not a daily thing since it's expensive now.

Had those. Not by choice, but I didn't care... It was New Year dinner with my ex's in-laws and they call it hot vit lon. It was just weird, but I'd eat them again. I can tolerate sauce with NO chunks. I personally hate... hate... hate tomatoes. They're nasty as f**k in my mouth or when I touch them. I won't near them or tolerate them for long on my own person. I am very picky with vegetables because of texture, so tomatoes and squash are the most nastiest food ever to me. Just like how you feel about seafood. A few Norwegians told me that Norwegian Americans/Canadians eat lutefisk way more often the Norwegians themselves. They stopped eating that once they modernized their cuisine with McDonalds and pizza. That's what my friend from Oslo told me.

Non.

Tomatoes.

Hi... I am still Jack and still friendly.
