Tumblr media
me when people ask me how to say "I don't care" in french
Tumblr media
(description:)
The IASIP meme of Charlie Kenny gesturing wildly at a conspiracy board, with the second picture added to his papers - the second picture being a table with 7 columns classifying an exhaustive number of ways of saying "I don't care" in French, based on how common, vulgar and funny they each are.
Column 1: Socially acceptable and common: -Je m’en fiche -J’en ai rien à faire* (*less formal variation of “Je n’en ai rien à faire” which still belongs to this category)
Column 2: Vulgar and common enough to not be shocking: -Je m’en fous -(J’en ai) rien à foutre
Column 3: More vulgar, and common with a ‘teenage’ connotation: -(Je)* m’en tape -(Je) m’en branle -(Je) m’en balec’ -(Je) m’en bats les couilles -(J’en ai) rien à battre -(J’en ai) rien à branler -”Balec’” (* omitting “je” is frequent and makes the expression even less formal)
Column 4: ‘Familiar’ (only somewhat vulgar, completely informal) and uncommon enough to be considered somewhat funny: -J’en ai* rien à carrer -J’en ai* rien à cirer -Je m’en tamponne (le coquillard) -Je m’en balance -J’en ai* rien à péter (* can be replaced with “Je n’en ai rien à …” to give it a formal connotation, in which case the expression belongs to category 6)
Column 5: Socially acceptable and uncommon/formal enough to be considered funny: -Je m’en contrefiche -Je m’en soucie comme d’une guigne -J’en ai rien à fiche
Column 6: Vulgar and uncommon, somewhat formal: -Je m’en contrefous
Column 7: Socially acceptable and very uncommon / very formal, enough to sound snobbish (and therefore a bit funny): -Peu m’importe -Il m’importe peu -Je n’en ai cure -Je ne m'en soucie guère

I am no longer calling lists “To-Do”
They are now “Side Quests.”
I am on an adventure, upgrading my skills as I age tyvm. And if I have stuff to do I might as well make it fun m.

Françaises, Français, mes chers compatriotes.... Sujet de tension et de controverse, on se retrouve cette semaine afin de déterminer où commence le Sud de la France hexagonale.
J'ai donc placé 7 lignes sur cette carte à des endroits où potentiellement faire commencer le Sud. Votez ce qui s'en approche le plus pour vous et n'hésitez pas à préciser dans les tags si mes découpages ne vous conviennent pas.

I will never get over the French name for a grizzly–polar bear hybrid :
Tumblr media
(For those who don't speak French - grolar sounds like "gros lard" which is the French equivalent of "fat ass")

Since I’ve seen the topic come up again, I thought I’d share a bit of history that might shed some light on the Graham de Vanily family’s weirdly French-sounding names! 🇫🇷
As y’all are probably aware, in 1789 we started chopping a massive amount of heads. So if you were a nobleman around that time and cared even slightly about your own neck (which is generally a thing people care about), your best bet was to book it to somewhere monarchy had not been #cancelled in a blood bath.
This forever vacation is referred to as l’Émigration, and one of the most popular destinations was, you guessed it, the UK.
So it’s totally possible that Felix and Adrien’s ancestors fled France centuries ago and made a life for themselves there, eventually mingling with the local nobility through good old ✨ arranged marriage ✨ (a tradition their family still upholds to this day!). Which would explain:
Why part of their family name sounds so French ("de Vanily")
The spelling of Emilie’s name
The accent in Félix’s name
Do with that headcanon what you will!

I have a theory about Paris so can you guys tell me whether you like Paris, are neutral about her or dislike her?
9 options, depending on your opinion on it and whether you're French/living in France, Parisien or a foreigner.
