Passing Someone in French
 

Would appreciate some Ski-French help. If I'm passing someone on the
right (e.g., on a downhill) in Quebec, do I say "a droite"? (or does
that mean "it's your right"?) "Par votre droite"?

Any guidance appreciated (and since I'm asking--what's the word for
kick wax--I always thought it was "fartage" but someone said something
that sounded like "cire")

Thanks,

Jon

I don't think it's ever polite to pass gas near someone
you don't know.

Coincidentally, there is a French word for the little social
niceties to be observed in such situations.

Gosh, what a lot of (Go Ogle) search terms you have there.

Otto, do you just pick groups at random for these little gems, or do
you have some automagical software that finds them for you?

You should say "En passant",
and then take their pawn.

If you are passing French people, you are not chewing long enough.

Though I am somewhat fluent in French, I had to use Babel Fish for
this one. The correct answer is:


Déplacez le fromage à l'écart mangeant le singe de reddition.

(Move out of the way you cheese eating surrender monkey)

Uhhh... Literally, "Move the cheese out of the way eating the monkey
of surrender"?

How about "Sortir de la voie, singe capitulant et fromage-mangeant!"?
