all the anglophones here have begun to adopt "franglais" as their tongue of choice. rather than sticking with one language or another we just through together whichever word or grammatical structure comes to mind first
here are some of my favorites
Are you "sortiring" ce soir = are you going out tonight
mot on the rue is . . . = word on the street is. . .
i "perdued" it = i lost it
Last night i went barhopping for the first time -- there are so many irish pubs in france. i went out at nine and 4 pints of guiness, an irish coffe, and 2 long island ice teas later i found myself with random british people and my roomate at a seedy nightclub screaming "hold on to your knickers girls!" After that i lost my group and had to return home wandering home alone on the streets of besançon at the wee hours of the morning. on the way a random drunken vagrant asked me for a cigarette i didn't have. he didnt believe grabbed my arm and wouldnt let go. i asked him to stop -- once in french and once in english. he persisted and started yelling at me so i took the wad of keys in my hand and struck him across the face as hard as i could. i then proceeded home as quickly as possible, bid the neighborhood prostitutes good night and went to bed.
