Sex in the City: Bordeaux. Or, French Words and Call Girls |
 |
Next time you're in Bordeaux, try these tips to keep your French words straight.
Bordeaux is the wine capital of the world, the hub of southwest France, and a city teeming with beautiful people, wide boulevards, and several UNESCO-grade monuments.
Bordelais is someone who's lucky enough to call this place home.
Bordelais do not come from some place named Bordel. Right now, clever French students are thinking "France and français, New York and New Yorkais..." Wrong! A bordel is a brothel, or a word for any chaotic situation. Example: "Ooh-la-la, did you hear about the senator who got caught with the call girl? Quel bordel!"
