Wie sagt Man weasel en Francais?
: Aaron Bailey sends along this German gem:
A linguists’ group called on Germans to replace commonly used English words with their French equivalents in a protest at the Anglo-American war on Iraq.
Armin Burkhardt, chairman of the working group Language in Politics, said
Monday English words such as “ticket” and “okay” should be replaced by “billet” and “d’accord”.
We, meanwhile, will replace “Kraut” with “weasel,” “Frog” with “weasel,” and “Russkie” with “weasel.”
