A French name for a French section

[Egzoset]

Hello,

I simply wish to point out that sometimes a word-for-word translation will fail to carry the full meaning which was intended originally. In Quebec the tobacco smokers are forced by law to go outside whenever the time comes for them to light up in public... With this in mind i believe "Dehors la Combustion!" would be more appropriate but that's just me.

Maybe, or maybe we could just have a German forum called Fck der Cmbustion, a Italian forum Fuck il Combustion, a Vietnamese forum Phuc Combustion etc. It's not correct, but it's more fun.

I thought Italians only make love? Not sure if 'ti amo combustione' would send out the right message

 

[Egzoset]

Hummm...

The "Fuck" word already IS Italian, for all i know... Well, judging from a number of those i've met in my life anyway!

Well, they also like to cheat and throw crockery at each other.

I had to look up 'crockery'. It's been a while since I learned a new English word, thank you

I almost got killed about 20 times and was almost robbed two times the last time I was in Italy (for just 3 days btw), but I don't want to feed in to the stereotypes too much

The part that most miffs me here is you are asking for a French name for the French forum - In English

Oh wow... This brownie is hitting sooner than anticipated
