I'm thinking of "merci beaucoup," the second word of which is pronounced "bow-coo," isn't it?<br><br>My mom used to fuss about the way I said "boo-coo," because she said that the pronunciation made me sound ignorant. But I say now that if you're doing it <em>deliberately</em>, it's okay. :)<br><br>(As long as you know the correct way to say "Blagojevich," right, Suz"?)hayumbonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06893794664821800017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8760968762164643447.post-75956564251786230542007-08-14T11:15:42.071-07:002007-08-14T11:15:42.071-07:00Sounds like my introduction to the OC--I got a par...Sounds like my introduction to the OC--I got a parking ticket for the street sweeper, for parking an inch to far from the curb, and for parking too much on the curve of the cul-de-sac at the end of the road, but having no other option (no driveway or garage space at my little studio apt.) I had to squeeze my little Tiburon in wherever I could fit it--or just sleep in it at night, so I could keep moving whenever the ticket patrol came on the prowl :o)Buck and Jess!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8760968762164643447.post-90498813768560551482007-08-15T10:32:50.965-07:002007-08-15T10:32:50.965-07:00Just a little side note on "beaucoup". ...Just a little side note on "beaucoup". Our local coffee shop (which by the way beats Starbucks hands down!) is currently called Beaners, unfortunately they will soon be changing their name to BEAUCOUP because apparently a "Beaner" is a derogatory word for Mexican?!?!
