Being Politically Correct: French Style!

There has already been several threads about renaming terms and items that have any French influence. Lets just gather them all up with your take on theire substitution.
French Fries —> Freedom Fries or American Fries

French Toast —> Belgian Toast

French Kissing —> Soul Kissing

Pardon my French —> Pardon my American

Frenching —> Licking or surrendering

Hor’devours —> Pigs in a blanket or weiniees

haute couture —> snooty fashion stuff

je ne sais pas —> I dont know

vive la France —> up yours :smiley:

My take? That the joke is wearing thin? (no offence meant)

le yawn

So in the interest of consolidating threads on the same topic, you’ve opened another one up on the same topic?

:rolleyes:

Well
Ex-Cuuuuuuusez-moi !!! :frowning:

What a horribly mean pile-on. “Soul Kissing” sounds pretty credible, though.

Ferchrissakes already!

They’re not Freedom Fries any more than they’re French Fries!

They’re chips! :smiley:

You tell 'em TLD.
And when you stick your tongue down someone’s throat, it’s not French Kissing, it’s a tongie.

nitpick

and a possible self hijack.

Why would you call wedgie cut fries “chips”?

…theyre …wedgie fries!

Fuckez Vous!

Yeah, this whole thing was sort-of amusing when some self-promoting diner owner in North Carolina or whatever started serving “freedom fries.”

But the whole thing got old pretty quickly.

And now that a Congressional Committee has directed the cafeterias on Capitol Hill to do the same thing, it’s lost whatever hokey redneck charm it once had and has just become another laughable example of a particular type of narrow-minded American parochialism.

Would you like fries with that?

*This report just in:

Saddam Hussein announced today that all menus and labels in Iraq must abandon the term “American Cheese”. Henceforth, it shall be referred to as “Tyranny Cheese.” :smiley:

We now return you to your scheduled threads…

I can understand now why France is so sympathetic to the Iraqi cause…

The French and Iraqi are kindred spirits.

Just wondering at what point all of the foolish French bashing that is going on is going to be considered hate speech. That is all.

Laugh? I nearly did.

And then I remembered that it’s a tired, hackneyed old joke.

When it becomes spiteful and mean spirited and loses all connection with reality.

…well 2 out 3 aint bad…

:smiley:

Moderator’s note:

And it just boomeranged right back on you, Philster. You will not cuss out other posters in IMHO, even in cutesy style. Consider yourself warned.

I’m closing down this nasty mess.
