Oh La La. The French meaning


Recommended Posts

My grandmother used to say "O la la la la la la" extremely quickly, with a slight pause after the first la. It was said with hands and eyes raised in supplication when one of her grandchildren had overstepped the fine line she had drawn for our behaviour. When in extremis, she would shout : "Ah non, merde alors. Nom de Dieu quelle vache!" A neighbour who had offended her by her poor dress sense was referred to as "Ce gros tas de fumier". I wish I'd listened more and picked up some of the riper insults she brought with her.

 

ooh, rosyrat, :o you made me chuckle with your grandma's comments! lol

 

!In the name of God! What a cow!" hehe I love it hehehe
