France belongs in its own group: the best. No you guys are not invited. Keep hating :D

I was just going to say, I don't think the French see it like that.

Why the FUCK are we FUCKING censoring FUCKS on the internet, dammit? You can say FUCK on the internet! Jesus FUCKING christ, are we going to cater to some prudes on the internet who don't want to see a bad word?

Thanks, someone had to fucking say it

Just don't say fr*nch around me

Yeah well, there are words that you shouldn't say in public, it's a matter of decency.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 164d

I mean Jesus fucking Christy Christ. Some people have absolute potty mouths.

Congrats, you fell on the engagement bait.

Uh, the word being censored is obviously "frank". I'm all for using mid tier swears like "fuck', but let's not totally devolve into degeneracy.

As someone who is French, it belong in the trash.

Occitan to your rescue!

The duality of the french.

Somewhere in the middle of Western Europe!

Note that Belgium isn't part of the convo

gnufuu@infosec.pub · 31 pts · 165d (1 reply)

So we're just making up countries now?

Lemminary@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 164d

Always have been

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 164d (1 reply)

Watch your mouth

Vinny_93@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 164d

I can't watch it, it's under my nose.

Much like Belgium is unwatchable because it's under my Rijn.

The English imitate the French language a lot, so I'd say they are worst for keeping away from France

mannycalavera@feddit.uk · 15 pts · 165d (1 reply)

That's not unique to the French language though. English a bit of borrowed from everywhere. Germanic, French, Latin... even Indian languages have borrowed words here.

SuluBeddu@feddit.it · 6 pts · 165d

Yeah, what I meant was more like the pronunciation, especially some English accents have more to do with French than with Scottish or Irish

As an Italian, I have no trouble understanding Spanish and reading French and Latin words in English. But listening to French and English accents is on another world to me πŸ˜…

Noodle07@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 163d

English has more words than french because it has all the french words + their own English words

Spain has a lot of Celtic (central and north Spain are often included in the Celtic nations, although the celtic language has been lost), Germanic (Goth, Visigoth, and many other tribes), Latin, Moorish, Phoenician, and others in the mix. Maybe that is why so many Europeans like it in Spain.

Also, remember that the French invented chauvinism, which basically says " fuck you, non French"

Maybe that is why so many Europeans like it in Spain.

The weather and that it's one of the last Western countries where ACTUAL left wing (rather than liberals masquerading as left wing) politics is still considered viable on a national level might help too 🀷🏻

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 164d (4 replies)

Also tapas. Tacos?

fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 163d (3 replies)

Wym by tacos, that's not a Spaniard thing.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 163d (2 replies)

Hence the question mark.

fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 163d (1 reply)

Yeah but, you were the one that introduced it to the conversation...

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 163d

I was asking about tacos. I like tacos. I guess I'll eat them myself.

Is it getting to the point where we have to censor normal words too?
