... But Kayla will remind him soon who has the droit de cuissage.

Mr roT said...: But Kayla will remind him soon who has the droit de seigneur.

Pay up.; 12/07/2011 4:48 PM
Tecumseh said...: You pay up, for questioning my French.; 12/07/2011 8:16 PM
Mr roT said...: Your wiki blather against mine. I suggest we compromise and you pay.; 12/07/2011 8:25 PM
Tecumseh said...: "Droit de seigneur" is just the polite way the more earthy (and authentic) French expression -- "droit de cuissage" -- was imported into English. Talking to Charlie, I used the real McCoy expression. Which of course you didn't know. Hah!; 12/07/2011 8:30 PM
Tecumseh said...: Of course, Voltaire is even more explicit in rejecting Rotter euphemisms.; 12/07/2011 8:35 PM
Mr roT said...: Ignorance of French is a real shame among the "elite", eh?; 12/07/2011 8:36 PM
Mr roT said...: Heh culage. Sodomite Frog wrongholers.; 12/07/2011 8:37 PM
Tecumseh said...: We're not talking about ignorance of French -- just not a full appreciation of all the nuances. Like, the subtle difference between droit de cuissage and droit de culage. Let's have Charly ask Kayla.; 12/07/2011 8:40 PM
Mr roT said...: What's the French for backpedaling?

(Pay up. Got you man!); 12/07/2011 8:45 PM
Tecumseh said...: Backpedaling? Nah. It's more like, you keep diggin'. As usual.

Better question: how do you say in French, "when in a hole, stop diggin'"? Charly should know that one, since he keep diggin' all the time, too.; 12/07/2011 9:29 PM
