      The ve for french accent bugs me, it’s more german like. In France we literally use “oui” for yes which is really close to “we” phonetically.

          I really don’t get the hon hon hon stereotype. And death is a lady in french, so it’s “la petite mort”. And its “monsieur”.

              I get you, but think about it that way, we had to learn that bullshit too and way more since birth to communicate. Ain’t no way we suffer alone.
