Brace yourself for a sarcastic laugh the next time you hear one of these mentioned out loud.<\/p>\n<h2>1. French Kiss<\/h2>\n<p>We, the French have no issues in being given credit for this one. Yay for the national pride. \ud83d\ude42 Come to think of it now, we don\u2019t really have an equivalent for this expression. We are not hand shakers or huggers and have lived by the tradition of \u201c<em>faire la bise<\/em>\u201d (air-kissing on both sides of the cheek). \u201c<em>Did you French kiss her?<\/em>\u201d is \u201c<em>Tu lui as roul\u00e9 un patin?<\/em>\u201d which literally means: \u201c<em>Did you roll her a skate?<\/em>\u201d But then again, who\u2019s complaining\u2026let\u2019s all call it a French kiss.<\/p>\n<h2>2. French Fries<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5132\" alt=\"french-fries\" src=\"https:\/\/frenchdistrict.com\/new-york-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2013\/04\/french-fries1.jpg\" width=\"177\" height=\"109\" \/><\/a>Aha! Didn\u2019t know this, did you? French fries actually originated in Belgium and we, French call them \u201c<em>frites<\/em>\u201d. Maybe the US army got confused by the Belgians speaking French and brought the French fries home. Fortunately or not, the lame attempt of calling them \u201cFreedom fries\u201d never really took off. So, enjoy those \u201c<em>French (not) fries<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>3. French Toast<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5134\" alt=\"art-bread-france-french-toast-funny-toast-2_r2_c2\" src=\"https:\/\/frenchdistrict.com\/new-york-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2013\/04\/art-bread-france-french-toast-funny-toast-2_r2_c21.jpg\" width=\"174\" height=\"147\" \/><\/a>Totally yummy, and our favorite, yet not really French. Apicus, a Roman from the 5th century is said to have come up with this toast.<\/p>\n<p>For us it is: stale bread brought back to life using eggs and sugar. We normally buy fresh baguettes during the week and by the time weekend arrives, the baguette is stale. These baguette left-overs are then ready to be savored as what is known to you as \u201c<em>French toast<\/em>\u201d. In French it is called \u201c<em>pain perdu<\/em>\u201d, which means lost or wasted bread. Assuming &#8220;<em>bread<\/em>&#8221; was translated as &#8220;<em>toast<\/em>&#8220;, how did &#8220;<em>wasted<\/em>&#8221; become &#8220;<em>French<\/em>&#8220;?<\/p>\n<h2>4. French Bulldog<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10730\" alt=\"french-bulldog-cute\" src=\"https:\/\/frenchdistrict.com\/new-york-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2013\/04\/french-bulldog-cute1.jpg\" width=\"171\" height=\"137\" \/><\/a>Where this came from, even we would like to know! Of all the dogs in the world, the breed called French is the bulldog?!!<\/p>\n<p>Is it because of their wrinkly faces or the fact that they are short and fat? It would make sense if they at least smoked&#8230;anyway, it is not a French dog. And it has Greece to thank for its origin.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>5. French Maid<\/h2>\n<p>From bad to worse and completely off the mark. French maid, again why French? Why not call her a cleaning lady \u201c<em>femme de chambre<\/em>\u201d? Call it like it is, or as we say \u201c<em>Let\u2019s call a cat, a cat<\/em>\u201d. Assuming that the French maids from back in the 19th century wore the same uniform, the 20th century sure did some job at modernizing (read- shortening n tightening) it and overusing it in American media.<\/p>\n<h2>6. French Letter<\/h2>\n<p>This one doesn\u2019t get any better, but sure does work as a sequential blow after the under dressed Halloween French maid. For those who didn\u2019t know, a French letter is condom. We are not too sure how to interpret this, nor whether we want to understand it, but anyway, Durex is an English brand. Nothing French about it. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n<h2>7. French Beans<\/h2>\n<p>We call them \u201c<em>haricots verts<\/em>\u201d (green beans). And just for the record, we only eat green beans that are cooked (not crunchy or uncooked ones). An American who cooks and eats the beans the way we do sure will be a pin in a haystack. Another cultural mystery!<\/p>\n<p>Granted there could be more additions to this \u201c<em>French<\/em>\u201d trend like French windows or French roofs and so on. But we found the listed ones more amusing and intriguing. Who knew! The English language (mis)use of the \u201c<em>French<\/em>\u201d label would become iconic and defining in the world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0Like this?<\/span><\/h2>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"click map\" src=\"https:\/\/frenchdistrict.com\/new-york-english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2013\/04\/popup-41.png\" usemap=\"#mc33568\" width=\"586\" height=\"451\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<map id=\"mc33568\" name=\"mc33568\">\n<area title=\"Sign up for French District English Newsletter\" alt=\"Sign up for French District English Newsletter\" coords=\"17,167,410,506\" shape=\"rect\" href=\"http:\/\/frenchdistrict.com\/new-york-english\/articles\/subscription-newsletter-french-district-new-york\/\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area title=\"Like French District on Facebook\" alt=\"Like French District on Facebook\" coords=\"422,153,719,511\" shape=\"rect\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/French-District\/444919918871244\" target=\"_blank\" \/>\n<area alt=\" shape=\"default\" href=\"http:\/\/frenchdistrict.com\/new-york-english\/\" \/><\/map>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWhen in doubt attribute quotes to Mark Twain\u201d, so said Mark Twain.
