Je ‘excuse, ais tu es alade dans la tete.

Girl 1: Shit, I don’t know what to order! The whole menu is in French!

That’s like when I didn’t shower for a month so I wouldn’t get laughed at in Paris

A guy sits down with a girl, takes out a cigarette and starts trying to light it. He has some extreme difficulty getting it lit, and has obviously never smoked before.

Girl (laughing): Hey, do you want some help with that?
Guy: No, no, I’ve got to practice smoking. Let me do it.
Girl: Seriously? You’re practicing how to smoke?
Guy: Yeah! It’s on my list of things to do. See? (takes out agenda) “Laundry, conference sign-up, smoke.”
Girl looks stunned.
Guy: I don’t want to look like an idiot when I go to Amsterdam!

Girl 2: That’s only because it’s all in French.

English exists so the Quebecois can communicate with the rest of the French-speaking world.

Quebecois Boy walks up to French Girl and tries to impress her.
Quebecois Boy: *says something in French*
French Girl: I can’t understand a word you’re saying with that accent.

The expensive book is bilingual / le livre cher est bilingue

Girl #1:  So do we have to buy the expensive book, or can we just get the cheap
one?
TA:  Well, if you think you’ll be continuing in genetics you should get the
expensive one.  But if you’re just tourists, you can get away with the cheap
one.
Girl #2:  We’re not tourists.  We’re FROM Montreal!”

“Why do they call you ‘Cretin’?” “They say it means creative!”

Young child: Daddy, what are they singing?
Anglophone father: Oh, don’t worry; it’s probably a French thing
