T-Rex: The French have such classy names for everything. "La petite mort", "ménage à trois", "folie à deux" - they just SOUND classier simply by being in French!
T-Rex: And if you are nodding your head saying "ah oui, bien sûr"... SURPRISE!
T-Rex: The first two are sex things, sure, but the third one is NOT a sex thing, but rather a psychiatric syndrome that can happen when two people are socially isolated, spend a lot of time together, and start to believe the same delusional and potentially violent things! It destroys lives and isn't sexy at all! SORRY! DÉSOLÉ!!
Utahraptor: But "folie à deux" DOES sound much classier than "shared psychotic disorder (DSM-IV: 297.3)".
T-Rex: No doubt.
T-Rex: This is the power of French: even the worst things in French sound better than the best things in English. This is why you have to be careful when learning French, for all other languages will now sound like a dog vomiting in your ears!
T-Rex: Sorry, that was disgusting. Toutes les autres langues sonneront désormais comme un chien qui régurgite à tes oreilles.
T-Rex: Ahh... MUCH better!
