Can I have my very own French Phrase too? I want to tell my French teacher more dirty stuff in French.(especially everyone in French Class). Last year she asked if anybody knew any French and I said **Faire la rose** and she was surprised that I knew what it meant and how to say it. (It is an idiom, it describes the act of cunnilingus). Thank you. ---

Ayesha, featherlou’s line didn’t show up in your sig, was it supposed to? By the way, it isn’t very French to say: Je suis Ayesha! Me craindre! First of all, literally translated “Fear me!” would be “Craignez-moi”, but that doesn’t sound good in French… May I recommend something to the effect of: **"Mon nom est Ayesha. Peuples de la terre, tremblez"** I don’t think that asking the people of the earth to tremble is excessive, in your case. Do you? 🙂 ---
