Happy Valentine's Day to all my SoWal friends! Now, straight from the capital of romance, PARIS FRANCE, a few little tidbits for the incurably romantic. This is from my "french word-of-the-day" e-mail:
....It may seem strange that the French, widely regarded as one of the most
sophisticated and beautiful people on the globe, use some of the most strange
(and not so beautiful) terms to refer to their belle/beau (loved one). Take, for
example, "ma puce" which means "my flea" (very popular here); also "mon chou" or
"my cabbage" (beau, n'est-ce pas?). Here are a few more original ways to say
sweetheart:
mon amour (mohn a-moor) = my love
mon b?b? (mohn bay-bay) = baby
ma belle (mah bel) = my beautiful (one)
ma biche (mah beesh) = my doe
ma caille (mah kahy) = my quail
mon canard (mohn ka-nar)= my duck
ma ch?rie/mon ch?ri (mah/mohn shay-ree) = my dear
mon chou (mohn shoo) = my cabbage
mon coeur (mohn ker) = my sweetheart
mon lapin (mohn la-pahn) = my rabbit
ma moiti? (mah mwa-tyay) = my half
mon poulet (mohn poo-lay) = my chicken
mon tr?sor (mohn tray-zor) = my treasure
mon poussin (mohn poo-sahn) = my chick
ma puce (mah poose) = my (little flea)
mon sucre d'orge (mohn sookr-dorzh) = my barley sugar
ma petite crotte (mah pteet crot) = my little sausage
Now please excuse me, everyone, while I go shopping to get a Valentine's Day card for
ma petite crotte otherwise known as Merman.
OK...I am a hopeless romantic!
and I am hoakie as mudd :roll:
you are all a great group!
