Why must you say "go to hell" in French if you can say it in English?

Just say it in English and it's much more to the point.

Saves us non-trilingual people trouble as well. . . .

Anything you say in French has a little more bite to it.  If it's in Italian, it's more passionate.... and should probably be sung.

what i meant was - then the non-french speakers could understand it immediately instead of having to go to online translations services

Since ages he claims that I have cockoo clocks and I havent got any >:( >:( >:(  ;D ;D ;D

Of course you do, you live in Switzerland.

Everybody in Switzerland has lots of clocks and eats cheese with holes in it.

This is common knowledge.

And platypi for the young children.

All Canadian people do actually drink coffee and obsess over hockey. So that stereotype is true at least.

That one is actually true.

Barely anyone says 'Fair Dinkum' or 'True Blue' though.

People used to say "fair dinkum" 20 years ago about as often as they say "g'day mate" these days.  But, personally, I find very few people say anything like that - definitely not in Tassie and not in Sydney, the two places I have lived.

I thought the international misconception was about Koala bears in all the trees, ready to drop onto passers by!

It's not a misconception! They inhabit Adelaide.

Yeah, maybe one of those too.  And kangaroo, but a nice kangaroo. 

And I want all these creatures to live peacefully and be able to talk, just like a Disney world.  And what the heck, they could sing too while they're at it.  But not too much, not too much happy-happy sing.  That's just nuts.  That would be silly.

(Bob shushes.) Shhhhhh!  Trying to be reverent here.   Mozartian is a girl.  So there's a dead girl on the forum now.
