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 |

Coincidentally, there is a French word for the little social niceties to be observed in such situations. 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") Gosh, what a lot of (Go Ogle) search terms you have there. I don't think it's ever polite to pass gas near someone you don't know. Otto, do you just pick groups at random for these little gems, or do you have some automagical software that finds them for you? Dr. HotSalt |

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