This meme is inescapable on French insta so I'm posting it here for all to enjoy
Always reblog flash debate
on it boss
reminder that the presenter says "oh, shut up" not "can it"
Native French speaker here. "Ta gueule" is actually more like "shut the fuck up" in terms of level of disrespect
also worth noting is that the "are you happy" is the correct gender

Here is the link! What an amazing idea ❤️

Thanks to @presumenothing for sharing it in the comments of the original post!
Aw
What a smashing idea! Sharing it for any friends who might be able to take part (or if they know people who’d be interested).
no language should be mocked other than french
Birds is “oiseaux” in French.
No letter is pronunced the way it should.
And there are seven of them.
ITS PRONOUNCED “WAZO” AND YES, I WILL DIE MAD ABOUT IT
oiseaux hits every vowel in the french alphabet and manages to only be pronounced with 2 goddamn syllables
got vowels coming out the oiseaux
This will never not be funny and I will never not reblog it.

Pretty wild that the french language is a descendant of latin. Like not only is it a domesticated version of vulgar latin, but, like, the pug version of it. Specifically selectively bred for the purpose of being cute and useless. Arbitrary spelling and frilly pronunciation to the point where nobody notices if you only pronounce two thirds of the letters and not a single consonant. Language so imprecise that you have to be a native speaker or an university linguistic professor to have any confidence in your assumption that you know what the fuck someone is saying.
How the fuck is french like "oh no, I can only fit like 21 unique words into my cute little vocabulary, so all of them need to have like 35 separate meanings, and you have to listen to my distressed snortling really carefully to deduct from context whether the word 'bouton' in this sentence means a doorknob, flower bud, button, pimple, or a secret fifth thing that I just made up! ó^ò"
Meanwhile latin, long dead and still haunting us, pulls its bloody head out of a mammoth carcass mouth full of gore like "I have a specific verb for aggressively penetrating a man's left nostril."
Oh my god, I've just seen this story on instagram about this guy that filled his bathtub with waterbead...except he didn't think about how he was going to empty it.
So he unplugged the bathtub which was apparently the worst idea he could possibly have because this happened
So he panicked and started asking people on the internet what he should do. Which was also a bad idea.
First suggestion: flush the toilet
This caused a smelly overflow that flooded the whole bathroom.
Second suggestion: vaccum the beads
His vaccum caught fire.
At this point it had actually spread to the neighborhood and people came to ask question but he denied knowing anything about it. He then discovered that it's invaded the whole sewer system.
And yet, he continued to take suggestion from the internet.
Third suggestion: put salt in
It actually worked. Well, until.
Poop apprently started flooding his house.
And then the streets.
It all happened yesterday so we're still waiting on an update on the situation but I hadn't laugh like this in a while.
You should go and watch the whole story (it's in 4 parts)
It's in french, but you get it even if you don't speak it and his screams of panic are hilarious
Word of warning: don't fill your bathtub with waterbeads. Just don't.

C'est les swimming poules
Reblogging for the pun and the pun alone
Oh my god french pun
The duolingo owl, cocking a gun in the distance because i havent practiced french in a few months
Run for your life
As a French person who speaks English I hope that one day I’ll get the opportunity to say “Pardon my French but” and then loudly swear in French as God intended.
Omg 🤣
@indigopersei is the french language just always on the verge of getting someone accused of assault or..?
my friend, if only you knew
It’s a very dangerous language to learn
Here’s an interesting thing about French! Everything needs to have an article in front of it. That’s why it’s “la chat” as opposed to just “chat”. So, for instance, you could say la fille for the girl, or jeune fille for young girl, but you can’t just say fille, because that means you are calling her a sex worker in a derogatory way.
The moral of the story is, if you want to make something rude in French, just take out the article in front of it. Yes, this works for nearly. every. word.
Every year. Every year there’s that kid who forgets that you can’t translate “I am excited” to “Je suis excitée”. And every year Monsieur Jordan has to slam the brakes before that kid can finish his sentence and then tactfully ask him not to announce to the class that he is horny.
“is the french language always on the verge” oh buddy, oh pal, i am so happy to break this news to you:
truly the language of love
Omg 😂😂😂
Director Brad Bird talks about how they came up with the name for “Ratatouille”
I remember first seeing the teaser for this in the theatre. The trailer didn’t reveal the name of the movie until the very end, and when it did, everyone in the theatre collectively LOST it. My Dad couldn’t even breathe.
It's French, it's food, it's got RAT in it!!!
