"Best 2K I Ever Spent" Learning French At Cannes

May 26, 2010 9:19 AM

The afterglow from Cannes has already started to fade, but so overfed and overwined are festival-goers that the party pics are only now hitting the web. How about reviewing the action while learning some important French phrases. It's never too early to prep for next year!

You think we're joking, right? Wrong. FAUX. Read and learn.

Pas une bonne idee = Not a good idea


jaune = yellow
les sourcils = eyebrows


Tres Monica Lewinsky = Very Monica Lewinsky


Les yeux vont te manger = The eyes are going to eat you


Souris! = Smile!


Ca ne va pas = That's not working.

(We might have mixed up some genders. But what is gender anyway, but a societal construct? Anyway, the last time we were called upon to speak French was when the seventh grade French club visited a bakery and we had to order gateaux and petit-fours and les funfetti cupcakes all on our own.)
