Why Georges though?

22:45 c'est surtout le film "Le Gendarme à New-York" qui a popularisé cette phrase non ? X)

As an Englishman who began learning French in Quebec, this is 100% accurate

This is my EXACT EXPERIENCE as an American who spent 6 years learning French in school and then went to France at 22 and had a COMPLETE AND TOTAL IDENTITY CRISIS when I couldnt understand anyone nor be understood!!! That "level 2 unlocked" moment of learning what Verlan is is SOOOOO RELATABLE ITS INSANE!! Im so glad because i wanted to practice (im now pretty good i go to france and 90% of people do not switch to english and when they do i correct them saying my ticket was very expensive and i didnt buy it to keep speaking english) by thinking of a standup routine on french about learning french and verlan, only to find OF COURSE someone thought of it already and did it SOOO much better than I could've!!!! AMAZING! SUBSCRIBED!

Qui a vu que Paul était le guitariste de Billie Eilish ? (Cf images de LA28)

Cunt is the most quintessentialy English of words

I am lost for words and cannot say how much I relate to you. I am French but have lived in the UK for over 30 years. I can relate so much to everything you say, whether it is about the French or the English. I can't wait for an opportunity to see you live. Keep up the good work

Merci de nous faire réviser notre anglais avec votre prononciation si parfaite 😂

Tellement juste😢

Merveilleux, j’ai enfin compris quelque chose....😂😂😂

Je découvre. Merci 😂😂😂

Génial, cela est souvent arrivé de parler avec des personnes hyperconnus sans m’en rendre compte, certes fou rire mémorable, honte de ne pas avoir reconnu et re🎉 fou rire ,les personnes qui ont vécu la même chose comprendrons mon ressenti....😂😂😂

La flemme est un état d' esprit ! Des régions entières ont cette philosophie , les bouches du Rhône par exemple 😅😅😅😅😅.

Actually atter thinking about it for a few minutes it makes some sense (to me anyway), you reaaaallly have to think about the possible etymology of it though (and maybe make a couple of slight stretches), heres my personal explanation of it So in english when we're talking about someones physical appearance we might refer to it as their "looks", presumably this comes from the idea that how you present yourself externally effects how people percieve you, or look at you as it were. So by changing your "looks" aka physical appearance youre changing the way people look at you. Ok so now lets go over to French, presumably at aome point they picked up the "physical appearnace" version of the eord "look" rather than the verb version (to look at something). And in English we also have the word "revise" which comes from french BUT it actually has a bit of a different meaning and usage in English which is where the whole "relooking" thing starts to come into play. So in english when you "revise" something it means you change it (its usually used in the context if documents) and the changes are called... "revisions", as in, "vision", as in, "sight", as in, "looking"... And in french the word revise literally means "to look again". And as i mentioned before a makeover is when you change your looks to improve them, aka, you *REVISE* them. So, my theory abiut "relooking" is that its meant to be a double entendre combining both the english and french definitions of the word revise + the word "looks" because youre specifically revising your physical appearance. Hence, "relooking", youre revising your looks But thats just a theory, a LINGUISTICS THEORY.... thanks for resding 😂

This dude sucks.

Je laisserais bien un commentaire mais franchement… ffff… la flemme

Hahahaha I love this because I am French and yeah I uses that expression quite a lot

?

t'aurais du rester mon gars 😁

greatissime !!!

J'aime bien faire les choses à moitié Ne pas aller au bout de mes idées J'aime bien faire les choses à moitié Car j'ai la flemme Car j'ai aaaaaaaaaaaaaah

On dit surtout "la flemme" et oas juste "flemme". Ensuite tu fréquentes des bars bizzares, j'ai jamais vu un serveur dire ça... Dommage l'idée etait bonne.

I have la flemme of writing a very long comment on how brilliant this is. I'll settle by saying that as hilarious and stupid as it is, it's also very much the truth xD

Very accurate

Im just here to say we do the same in Spanish. What is even worse, the Spanish academy of language includes the adapted version "esmoquin"

On dit plutôt- la flemme..😂

I've only ever used and heard the proper full sentence... I guess we don't hang around the same kinds of crowd. Nice totally misleading thumbnail though

Les Parisiens ne représentent pas la France non plus. Ils ont une mentalité à part c'est vrai. Venez plutôt visiter notre belle région Centre avec ses Châteaux la plupart en bord de Loire. Visitez le Tarn-et-Garonne, magnifique. La Bretagne, magique. On a plein de belles choses à voir en France, n'allez pas vous enterrer dans le béton gris sinistre de Paris.😘

Something 's very wrong here: "flemme" is not reserved to Parisians but I guess you couldn' t be bothered to dig deeper 😁

Nobody says "flemme" as if it was an interjection, "la flemme" as a contraction of "j'ai la flemme" is the actual expression 🙄

Pas « flemme » LA flemme putain!j

I think the explanation is simple. The English translation for Valérie Pécresse is Liz Truss. But the current Olympics will have a good impact. Finally the world will start to understand why French people always complain and protest. Because strangely both tourists and athletes have started to complain and protest…

It’s not the « Maire de Paris » that went to swim into La Seine, it’s the minister of sports! Do your research ! Just kidding, since you live here since 15 years, you own the right to have Ze Flemme like a true parisian. ;-) thanks for the funny video

The comment section is better than l'Académie Française. Everyone are an expert.

Je voulais laisser un commentaire mais... oh la flemme...

Do you really have a wall dedicated to yourself? 😳🤪🤩

13:25

La moitié des exemples que tu as donné, ca fonctionne pas hahah

In French, you also get the expression "être un flemmard", meaning "to be lazy"

Don't know if it's flemme. I think it's much more anger. After the shitshow of the legislative elections (which Macron still refuses to respect, since we still don't have a left prime minister), and after all of the authoritarian bullshit the government pushed for the Olympics (like forcing students out of their social housing for the Olympics, just for the police housed there to complain about the poor quality of the housing and be relocated??? when the poorest students are houseless??? or people be encouraged to leave Paris for the summer (as if anyone could just leave their job or house for 3 weeks), or most of Paris being unaccessible for most French people (or accessible to the richest ones bc tickets are EXPENSIVE), or the price of the subways, or how many new infrastructures will only serve for the Olympics because they're not fit at all for a daily public use, they wasted more than a billion euro to clean the Seine only for the river to be too dirty for the competition, etc, etc. France is becoming more and more authoritarian, and sadly, we won't be able to have la flemme to fight it.

Vivement le fringe ! 🥳

On dit "j'ai la flemme" pas "flemme" tout court...

Did the mayor swim? …

Americans will definitely say "is there parking there?". In fact, I'd say that its more common to say it that way than to ask "Is thwre a parking lot there?".

Flemme de commenter mais bon...

Le Fringe Festival est trop coooool ! Je n'aurais pas la flemme d'y retourner si je pouvais !

You should check out Jenny Tian while you're at Fringe. Shes a pretty funny Aussie. @nomnomjenny

Impressionant son accent francais

La Flemme Olympique.

T'es vraiment un gauchiste toi hein
