The Night Writer has this recurring word of the week thing on I forget which day. Anyway, I like it. I've almost been defenestrated because of it and my British heritage was impugned in a bloody foofaraw, but it's all good.
I got to thinking that I could teach you all French by providing you with a few words whenever I feel like it (when mom tried to get me to eat squash I spat up. Same thing with organization. bleuurghhh... all over the floor). Then I realized that none of you would want to learn French because they are cheese eating surrender monkeys. Fair enough. Monty Python's John Cleese has a solution. This should ring some bells out there. Eef not, I farrrt een your gen-ee-rahl dee-reck-see-own. I will only choose sentences that French people would likely say in general conversation. Here goes.
First phrase: I like waving white flags.
As a Frenchman: Ee leek va-veeng veet flog
The phonetics make it look like Dutch or Sanskrit, but it's a pretty fair approximation.

I like French Toast, does that matter?
No, that's okay. Just don't put any camembert on it. Not a good mix.
