Edumacation



I learn lots of new words and slang words everday but so far this is my favorite one that I learned today from my 50-smthing year old prof in leather pants and a biker jacket (bc he rode his moto to class today... yes!).

'Les bo-bos'

It means 'bourgeois-bohèmes.' In explaining which parisians this was in reference to, he basically described your average NYT reader.

on the slang front another tough thing - txting. txting lingo 'whole nother language' yada yada... we hear our old people saying that in the states but. when its in another language it sux bc u can't look up the words in the dictionary cuz u have no idea what they are or are combined or are substituted like instead of 'qui' its 'ke' arggghh haha


On another note...
I've decided it should be illegal to sell packages of pre-made crepes from Breton (their home town) and nutella in the same supermarket. Maybe the solution is to just buy all of it from all stores so it will no longer be in the supermarket when I'm shopping and hungry...

other delicious things... almond yogurt... mmmm. all yogurt here in general of course, but the crème almond is great.
