The other day my physiotherapist (a native French speaker) (I live in Montreal) (and I love parentheses) and I had a long involved discussion about pronounciation. He was causing me extreme pain and remarked that I should get a voodoo doll representing him and poke pins into it, but he pronouced doll like "roll." He asked if that was right and I said no it's more like "ball." Which segued into a whole "rough" versus "cough" versus "dough" versus "bough" thing. It was not pretty.

With a little practice, language can becoome and intimidating and impenetrable fog!!! We could be speakin da same language and not understand each other!!! Remember when "access" used to be a thing? now its a verb. verbing weirds language.

Dude has been a hose for years and years.
Fricasee Fran: I lived in Montreal for a bit and LOOOOOVE weird Franglais. Here's a little test. Translate the following from phonetic Quebecois French to English:

LMAO! In a search for the beckster I found this thread. Confession: Fricasee Fran was a double of mine, I killed her off when I got sick of her. I never saw Crunch's reply, or I'd have translated:
Hey you, pay attention. I want a blueberry muffin, okay? I'm going to the bank (Caisse Populaire).
Biggie: this is Quebec, the "eh" is not mandatory here.
Crunch, I think you're a Montrealer at heart. Flee the vapid TO wasteland and come on home!
