I had a teacher in highschool who taught languages and was born and raised
in France. We would poke fun at the French language by saying, "Le class"
or quite simply putting "le" before any noun we spoke. This really
infuriated the French sensibilities of our young and beautiful teacher who
would immediately demand an end to it. That was the only time I ever saw
her really mad!

those French!,
