The "R" word

Laura spent a week in France at the beginning of the month with a bunch of
her classmates on a schools exchange. Guess what the French kids called the
British kids?

Out of the mouths of teenagers...

 

Rosbif?

 

Le ding.

 

French for 'Ginge' perhaps?

 

platypus secured a place in history by writing:

I think I've been whooshed....

 

Very similar to a conversation I had in France with my 13 y-o nephew
the other week:

Me: Thomas, have you ever heard the term "rosbif"?
Th: Yes, uncle Nick.
Me: What does it mean?
Th: The English.
Me: When was the last time you heard it spoken?
Th: This afternoon, at school. The kids call me it all the time.
