The French have a wonderful expression.

[herosrest]

je ne cest past. )-|

[BipolarBill]

and the Italian-Americans do too:

Ba da BING!

:)

[sm8000]

Non!

Je ne sais pas.

"cest" is not even a word in French. "C'est" is, for "it is" or "it's".

P.S. It means "I don't know".

[herosrest]

Certainly punctuation counts for a lot - &

[Bigjakkstaffa]

All together now in geordie

'Ah diven nah watch-ya gannen on aboot marrer'

[sm8000]

Punctuation does count for a lot. cest is meaningless, c'est is a contraction of ce est (it is), but of course French tends to run consecutive vowels together.

Don't believe me? Ask fancyf. She's still around.

And now, for the most famous French phrase of all: "I surrender mon ami". Or , how many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris....they don't know because it's never been done.:D

[20Michelle01]

@~20Michelle01~@

[sm8000]

Je t'aime :-@

The French have an even more wonderful expression which may even be the expresion that you are alluding to and that is,"Je ne sais quoi"; a phrase that has been taken in it's entirety, into the English language.
It literally means, "I don't know what" but is generally used to describe a quality or attribute that is difficult to describe or express.
She's got that certain something.
She has that "Je ne sais quoi".

[herosrest]

She has that "Je ne sais quoi".


Time for that check up with the optition - eh? ;)


Those French guy's can't defend Paris - they haven't the energy 'mon cherrie' :x

Actually.. the really funny part is that even the French were able to take Paris from the French (during the French Revolution).. so it just goes to show..

That being said, it must be nice to be halfway across the world, going unchallenged by anyone

"The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore. True, you can sit outside in Paris and drink little cups of coffee, but why this is more stylish than sitting inside and drinking large glasses of whiskey I don't know."
