Hi guys, OP here. I speak fluent french, I just had a little blunder. This was actually like a few months ago when I was on France on holiday, and yeah the seller gave me a funny look and we had a giggle, but then I said, ooops and that I meant to say potato. It was soooo embarrassing, my parents never let me live it down FML hahahah

Well, did you get what you asked for?
how could you confuse the two ?!!! Even in Italian the words are pretty similar to the French words. I call BS on that one.

It's a dangerous language. I once complimented my French girlfriend on her "queue de cheval", but she heard "cul de cheval" and called me a "shower!"
Perdix......no. I'm torn between disgust at your annihilation of the French language, or admiration at your ability to pull that one off.

Go with the latter on that one, "queue" and "cul" sound pretty close. Here's one for disgust: I thought Edith Piaf's "La Vie en Rose" was "La Viande Rose" and wondered why she sang about pink meat.

I'm currently learning another language and I know how a little slip up can make a big difference. A slight change in pronunciation can change "My house has 2 big rooms" to "My sister has 2 big testicles".

OMG I'm sorry OP, but this is too funny. I want to learn French, so I hope this doesn't happen to me.
@ 67... Yet you can't even make the effort to spell out "are"...
#67, well that was uncalled for.
Well technically, when you're in France you are standing on the land that is, by definition, France itself. Therefore you are on France. ... no?
Well, literally, what you asked could also have been a "f*cking apple" ^^ Try "Patate" next time ;) Closer to the english word, and we also call them like that, it's just a bit more familiar
If you're going to troll, you should try a little more subtlety. Works better.
me ?

#65, you would still technically be on France because, well, you're on the land. No need for you to say that.

What #97 wanted to say is, in my opinion, that the use of the part "de merde" can be used to make a word sound vulgar or offensive and thus can be compared to the use of "f*cking" as an adjective in English :)

In Spanish, there's this word called Judías verdes, which means "green beans". Get rid of the accent on the i, and you have "green Jewish women.
65/67, you are such a dick. "I" and "O" are very close together, and it is acceptable for OP to have missed. Furthermore, you call out OP for being on France which is technically true. Then your grammar itself is pretty shitty, especially when you couldn't take the time to type out a three letter word. Get ******, concerned troll.
go to VDM for a very fluent french and good times like here ! it's fml in french ' i'm french and i'm in fml for the same thing ;)
Thanks, my French isn't that good, I dropped it as a subject last year

Hopefully he has a sense of humour
