So you remember how in
They use this word a lot more than we would use “sure” so you end up answering a lot of questions “ja hoor [yes, sure]” or “nee hoor [no sure or no thanks]” and feel like you’re calling everyone a prostitute all day. It’s kinda funny talking to some businessman using this phrase because you’re repeatedly have the knee-jerk reaction that you’re insulting them. Anywhere you go—gas station, grocery store, work: yes whore, no whore. Ja hoor. Nee hoor.
Ok so in French they overuse the word whore too. Whore in French is putain. But in dialogue, they start every other sentence with the word putain. Even if it’s just a simple statement of fact about the nice weather. They say “Putain, qu’il fait beau!” which means “Whore, it’s nice weather!” I just don’t understand how the two are related? Not understanding of course doesn’t stop me from overusing the word as well so I can seem like I know the French slang when in reality I have frequent issues with simple conjugation. Just keep starting sentences with “whore”! They won’t notice your grammatical errors! This is my internal logic. Also the French people I work with are obsessively organized and generally dislike mess. But the phrase to describe a mess also invokes the whores. So all the time I hear, “Putain, c’est quoi ce bordèle?” which means “Whore, what is this whorehouse?” I mean seriously, take it easy dudes. Just paper and passion in a bottle. Not a whorehouse.
So that’s all I wanted to say. All day I talk about whores.
The End.
