Birthday post to come this weekend hopefully. For now, I'm proud to announce I made my third ever pun in French today! (You can read all about my first pun here, my second pun sadly went unrecorded. Won't make that mistake again.)
I tried to say I had a blocked nose, but instead of saying "J'ai le nez bouché", I accidentally said "J'ai le nez bouchonné", which, as my colleague informed me, means "corked", as in wine. My punny response - "Ah, c'est du pif !" Pif being slang for both "red wine" and "nose". Okay, okay, still not very funny, but think of my French puns as like women preaching or dogs walking on their hind legs...
Hahaha. Love it. :)

ReplyDeleteAwww, virtual pat on the head :D
DeleteI had never heard that quote before-- I love how you applied it. I will know my French has reached new heights when I can do a crossword puzzle.
ReplyDeleteI think I've attempted some of the really easy ones, but that's definitely a challenge!
