Are you French?

Mai non. Nein.

(And if I got those wrong, don't blame me... I don't speak a word of either language. I'm just guessing.)
 
Aw, how was the weather at Normandy? I love when people who were maybe the result of a WWII era penis take credit.

Are you American? Are you still a British colony?

Thank the French.

American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.
 
Americans selective historical memory and collective amnesia never cease to amaze me.

Although Canadians share that talent has well. They're just more polite about it.
 
I am Slavic, German, Scottish, and English

I speak a smattering of German and French.
 
I am Scottish and I 'speak' British Sign Language and write English, with some French....non moi neve troble....or something like that!

:p

Canadians are more polite about most things.
 
My last name is of the French language but goes back to the French speaking district of Walloon in Belgium.

According to the family tree, my forebears came to the US via Quebec and I can usually find someone with my last name in a city/town in the US that had a French influence.. Detroit, Louisville, St Louis, etc.

No, though I have always thought the word schadenfreude is kind of cool.

I think it's antonym mitfreude is a better stance to take, however it lacks the clobbering zing in pronunciation.

Somme I may need help with this one, if you're reading :)
 
mitfreude - joyful participation in the joy of another

schadenfreude - the joy one gets from someone else's misery


apparently freude is German for "joy"
