New lingo


I think I am learning as many new words in English as I am in French. I went out to the Cafe Jean-Jaures and Le Chantier last night with the English speaking assistants from around the world and laughed so hard I probably turned red. My acquired words/phrases: jokes (compliments of Heather), narf (Kirsty), nobbing and other odd words for such things, chaff, and my favorite which I made a huge embarassing mistake with is muff. I said I was proud to be called a "meuf" the other day by some students which meant I am not a lady but a woman. Well in British English I guess it means pubic hair! So we had quite the laugh about that and Mike's shrunken shirts that after a few more times in the French dryers he can probably use them for finger puppets!
