Re: Useful French Phrases
Morte de rire! = LOL
You know much more French slang than I do... I've recently learned that "fumer un joint" is "smoke a pot" or so in NZ (not me! C'est très mal! )
Don't forget the very useful:
Can you repeat, please? Slowly? = Je n'ai rien capté du tout, parlez plus vite surtout, on ne va pas s'en sortir si vous ne vous mettez pas dans le crâne que je cause pas français, bordel.
It might help (especially if you run fast).

Re: Useful French Phrases
Actually, I know a lot of expressions in french besause I am french.
I am interested by all your experiences with the cultural diferencies, because I live in Hong Kong, and live the same situation right now as you all!
some new ones:
On n'a pas le cul sorti des ronces! (We can't leave our ass from the bramble)=on ne va pas s'en sortir
Il ne faut pas pousser Mémé dans les orties/dans les escaliers (We mustn't push Granny on the stinging nettles/on the stairs)= You shouldn't try to take advantage of me/my kindness/this situation.

Soit l'un soit l'autre - One or the other
L'un et l'autre - Both of them
L'un l'autre - One another
L'un ou l'autre - One or the other
Ni l'un ni l'autre - Neither

At least, you may need a proper spelling and grammar
Vas te faire enculer connard
Je t'emmerde bâtard
Nique ta mère pédé (for pédéraste)
you can add to your list:
Vas te faire foutre
Salaud/salope
I hope you a long stay in France!

Re: Useful French Phrases
You seems to be quite rude, does it work for being respected?

the first thing you have to learn is to swear at the 'stards, cos its the only way 2 get respect sometimes...
