Fun with french.

It never ceases to amaze me how many english words have been integrated into the french language, and become, well, 'frenchified'.

This morning, while dropping off Cheeks at school, I started reading the TRES URGENT bulletin informing parents that the ubiquitous louse has once again reared its ugly head.  Typical rentrée routine.  Kid starts school

That's actually my all-time favorite franglais word. I just don't understand why they couldn't just use "make-over" if they wanted to have it sound American. I mean, "le make-over" sounds just as good as "le relooking". Which brings up another point - they even add the -ing on it! Too funny.

How funny... since it was my first encounter with the word, I've been using it non-stop. I had my daughter explain how one would use it in several examples....I don't think I could actually use that word in a conversation and keep a straight face.... 'le relooking'? That is classic!
