  1. Frenchie from "Grease"?

    Nice list. I had an especially good chuckle at Mr. French - and it's what made me think Frenchie.

    Have a great weekend!

    1. "Grease" popped into my head many times when I was trying to figure out what to write for the "French" prompt.

  3. French from France. Not me. I'm not even French from Canada. Bu that's a pretty exhaustive list. Tres bien.

  4. That's a great list. I, like Skippy, loved the Mr. French - hadn't thought of that show in years!

  12. Ha ha "Pardon My French".... I remember when EVERYONE said that. Did it mean that French people curse all the time?

  13. I wonder if we should add an asterisk and a footnote to the list, because French fries actually originated in Belgium.
