I once tried to get a haircut in France and got directed to the butchers shop. whistle:

Cheval  ~ Cheveux

An easy mistake to make  redface:

Nothing compared to the confusion and subsequent hasty exit from a Belgian roadside snack bar when I tried valiantly to order a glass of milk for one of the children ~ How did I know the bloody woman didn't speak French and my miming of milking and murmurings of La Vache would upset the very large woman behind the counter?

It's a bloody minefield over there. No wonder me Granddad didn't like it much when he went there from 1915 to 1919




PS I would only let the children drink Coke or Sprite from then on.

The French for full is plein, feminine pleine. An English female guest at a dinner party announced to everyone at the end of the meal that it was beautiful food and she was full. The French all looked surprised, applauded and said they were very happy for her.




Je suis pleine means I am pregnant!

Personally I suspect it is because conversations between us three invariably turn smutty.
