According to this site, the proper French for this phrase is:
“J’ai une grenouille dans mon bidet!”
(zhay en gre - noo - ee dan mon bee - day)
Just thought I’d share this site with anybody else who might need some handy French phrases.
Shhh! or everyone will want one!
Personalized of course.
I think this phrase may be particularly usefull around here:
“Le réalité et toi, vous ne vous entendez pas, n’est-ce pas?”
(le ree - al - ee - tay eh twa voo ne voo zen - ten - day pah nes pah)"
But I wonder why they don’t have that terribly useful travel phrase: “My hovercraft is full of eels.”
Hey ** Crunchy ** !!! I TOLD you that isn’t a water fountain!
ChiefScott, I think you’re confusing me with Matt_McL. My knowledge of French is pretty much limited to finding funny sites by accident and laughing at them (“Mon Dieu, que vos enfants sont laids”
(Mon dyer ke voe zen - fant son lay)
Actually, I might learn that one and use it when people show me their kiddie pictures. Tell them that it means their children are surpassingly beautiful or something.
(Crunchy? Is that you in there?)
I really thought that this was going to be some sort of euphemism.
Those damn Frenchmen, they turn up everywhere. Don’t look now, but there are probably snails in your toilet tank as well. You seldom have one without the other.
zhoo voo dray la clay pour la douch sil vous plait
I just want to state for the record, I was no where near featherlou’s bidet. I deny that whole=heartedly, unabashedly and with every fiber of my being.

Huh? What? Oh, that’s what a bidet is?
Oh yeah, I was in that then. Sorry.
And now for something completely different (and yet somehow related): there is an instruction book in English as a second language that is used in Europe still, I believe.
One of the first sentences students have to memorize is: “My tailor is rich”. That can be very useful in the vast reaches of the English-speaking world.
Opened this thread wondering if this could be true.
First thought= Where does the poster live that s/he
has a bidet?
Second thought= Isn’t this how Reese’s peanut butter
cups got started?
Standoff.
“You’ve got your frog in MY bidet!”
“You’ve got your bidet in MY frog!”
Hmmmm…
“Introducing the bidet frog; fun pet for the whole
family!”
