What was the first movie you remember seeing in a movie theater?
Question submitted by mainmor.
I think it must have been "Bernard et Bianca", also known as "The Rescuers" on the other side of the English Channel... I even had the Panini collectible stickers album...
What are your favorite and least favorite words? Any reasons why?
Question submitted by Byrne.
Well, they may both be swear words, but not really nasty ones though...
In English. these days, I would definitely say that my favorite word is "bugger"...
Using it all the time...
For those who don't know how to really use the word, please watch the first 2 minutes of "Four Weddings and a Funeral"... It is used there, right after another fantastic British expression: Fu**ity fu**!
In French, I would definitely go for the equivalent: "Putain!!!" (please note the exclamation marks)... Literally, the word itself means something slightly different (related to a lady offering services in exchange of a sum of money, preferably cash, often at night).
But it is commonly used as an interjection when things go wrong...
Same as "Bugger" actually...
Or is it me using it in an inappropriate way, due to wrong translation? :)
