Off Topic And Now for Something Completely Different

[Barchullona]

I just bumped into an old mate I haven't seen for ages on the way to work.

I asked him what's up to these days.

He said "I'm feeding piss heads, the homeless and druggies. I help the dregs of society get something to eat"

I said "You working in a shelter?"

"No, Weatherspoons!"

Pity he can't spell.

 

[Brabs]

Pity he can't spell.

How do you know?

 

[Barchullona]

How do you know?

It’s Wetherspoons.

 

[Brabs]

It’s Wetherspoons.

I know, but that doesn't answer my question.

 

[Barchullona]

I know, but that doesn't answer my question.

I am assuming he quoted how his friend would spell it based on his pronunciation, obviously.

Thanks to everyone who helped me translate the word "beaucoup", hugely appreciated.

It means a lot.

I know 'beaucoup' means a lot, but why? Why doesn't it mean 'a fashionable young man who suddenly and violently seizes power from a government'?

Surely, you geste.

Merci

 

[Des Head]

Surely, you geste.

Only with a slightly raised eyebrow.

 

[DMD]

Merci

And have even more merci on me.

 

[DMD]

Only with a slightly raised eyebrow.

That'll help you have a little peep.

 

[Mr Hatem]

Surely, you geste.

Beau

Well, that took some working out. I'm pretty sure we're beyond my casual French. I'd not heard of coup d'œil.

Is it pigeon English?

We should stop this high brow interaction, I'm swimming pool myself.
