    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!

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

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

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

    You might be quite surprised to learn how much time I spent yesterday Googling French Foreign Legion, and to no avail.

    French kissing!

    No wait, you already said that one. Still, it's worth a second mention.

    Hey Barb! And of course, Dutch Schultz's cryptic exclamation: "French Canadian Bean Soup!" Indigo

    Great list! The only thing I would add is French pastries. I always add French pastries. :-)

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

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