Whilst watching “Taken”, I came across the French expression “J’ai envie de me le faire”
After some consultation on the Wordreference forums, I decided that this can be translated as:
I feel like doing him, I want to sleep with him
Wonder when I will get the chance to use this handy expression :-p
Just me in the house today so I took advantage of the free time to improve my Chinese and French. Read a couple of chapters of 哈利波特与凤凰社 whilst downloading “Taken” which I had heard about recently and of which I had missed the cinema release (yes, China imported this film despite its explicit content, although of course they may have cut scenes).
I was pleasantly surprised that the only bits of dialogue that I didn’t grasp boiled down to the following:
Emballer (être emballé par)
to be taken with
Ca m’emballe pas vraiment
I’m not that keen
Appréhender
to arrest
Bichonner
to pamper, dress up
Connard
Bugger
Se faire larguer
To be dumped
That will be all for now 
Hopefully I will find some more time to watch some more french films too, don’t want my French to get rusty…
I recently borrowed the film “The Sweetest Thing” from my sister to watch, having notice that there was a French Soundtrack available. The French version of the film is known as “Allumeuses” and I thought that it would help increase my French ’slang’ vocabulary. Here is a list of the new vocab I learnt along with translations – watch out, some are rather vulgar!!
Tortiller
To Twist
Piger
To understand
Balèze
Humongous
Queue
Dick
Déconner
To bullshit, mess around
Avarié
Rotten, rotting
Se pointer
To turn up, to attend
Fumet
Scent, odour, smell
Suinte
Ooze, seep, trickle
Cramouille
Vagina (vulgar)
Foufou
Crazy
Se grouiller
To get a move on, hurry up
Papoter
To chat
Naze
Stupid, knackered, broken
Poisse
Bad luck, misfortune
Chambouler
To ruin
When I get home I’m going to hunt out more DVD’s that I own that have a secondary soundtrack in a language I can understand!
Really enjoyed watching this film in French rather than in ‘American’
