Critical French Phrase & What's Hot

Without question the most important French phrase that needs to be learned is “carafe de l'eau”, pronounced “Ka-raft Dough”. In Paris, you do not need to be polite. No: please, thank you, could you, I would like, etc, required. Simply “Ka-raft Dough”. You are saying “carafe of water” - 'nough said.

Why is this important? If you are an American, you expect water, you need water. Plain water. No gas - regular god-given clean non-carbonated free H₂0. I can understand the German's predilection for gassing things, it is almost genetic for them, but what is up with the rest of the Europeans? With this phrase, you will get something to drink. Additional plus, they do not charge for it. Soda is too expensive and if you simply ask for water, they will bring you bottled water – with or without gas, but with an extra item on you bill. Why pay for what should be free?

I do not remember if I have already mentioned that there are two hot things this summer in Paris, so I will mention it again. One, hamburgers. Really expensive hamburgers. Eaten with a knife and fork. Usually open face. I ask you – what is the point? Two, tights. Women are wearing tights. Well, I think that is what they are called. Whatever they are called, they look wonderful on women with great or even good shaped legs. Anything to enhance a woman's legs is wonderful idea in my book. I approve.
