Chriselle 158 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I wouldn't go that far Thursday but I had crappy French teachers and grew up through all the talk of referendums so.... most things associated with French and French Canada kinda left a foul taste in my mouth (pardon the pun).

JA2340 16 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 My French teacher had lived in France (several decades earlier) and had a thing about the "reader" we were expected to know about. (It was "Le Cheval sans Tete" and I still cannot care about the bloody horse!) She would write a few paragraphs from the book on the board, we'd read the lot through. Then she'd erase random words and we'd have to read the lot again, filling in the blanks as we went. continue until there are but a few words left and we were reading the paragraphs from memory. I had a problem, as I could not understand how that was going to help me with French, and the final exam (still don't, after 50 years!) so complained to the head teacher and was given a dispensation - the proviso being that I would present him with a list of 20 vocab words every time the reader lesson was on. That sounded like a great deal, and I never did the reader thing again! (Rebel, me!) Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I grew up speaking French and am bilingual. I love the language and the people. Even French-Canadians are ok too Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Well, I could certainly do without at least a third of them BM. But that sentiment is equally reciprocated. The PQ is a cancer and the government needs to either cut in out or cut it loose. No politics... so I had better leave it at that. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted July 11, 2013 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted July 11, 2013 I get somewhat annoyed with people who write in to us asking questions, which we answer but are never heard from again. Not a thanks or anything. Link to post Share on other sites

JA2340 16 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 My question would be "What? Did you not bathe before you came here? ... Oh, you mean a toilet! Yes we have one but we don't bathe in it!". I do NOT understand the problem with the word toilet! Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I do like the American..."restroom". It's always nice to have a 5 or 10 minute time out. Doesn't quite work out that way with the Japanese squat crappers though. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 My question would be "What? Did you not bathe before you came here? ... Oh, you mean a toilet! Yes we have one but we don't bathe in it!". I do NOT understand the problem with the word toilet! You do realize that "toilet" literally means a clothes bag or changing room. Not sure why that is a better euphemism than "bathroom." (At least baths have water in them.) Link to post Share on other sites
Error404 0 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I take a bath in my bathroom. I do the shitting business on the toilet. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 In Canada it's ..bathroom or washroom. To me...sorry JA...toilet is just a lateral move from calling it "the shitter". Link to post Share on other sites
@tokyo 14 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Grown used to it not being next to the bath as well. Far more civilised. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Either or for me but......I don't get how shitting in a closet is FAR more civilized. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Did Tubby not mention how manky the base of a toilet is. From experience ripping up boards or something. That, next to the toilet? Nice! Link to post Share on other sites

Beavers are really, really difficult to potty train....not the brightest rodent ya know. That fact combined with the beaver's well documented impressive yet unwieldy male member makes it a real challenge to hit the bowl. More miss than hit actually. So ya,,,,,manky!
