        Think of the douchiest, most elitist french you can think of. Joual is the exact opposite of that. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 13:29 8
        
        knowing that? even more elitist. -- nm - TFox Feb 27, 13:29 7

        heh. actually if you listen to Joual next to Parisian French is sounds pretty gutteral. -- nm - zork Feb 27, 13:39 5
        
        it's total redneck. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 13:40 4

- Just because he has the right to speak French doesn't mean we can't think he's douchy when he does! -- nm - Epiphany Feb 27, 13:13 2
  - heh. -- nm - znufrii Feb 27, 13:22
  - THIS is what I'm saying! :) -- nm - Jim Feb 27, 13:21
some of the (puts money in the jar) call him an embarrassment. Because a SOS who speaks a foreign language is embarrassing. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 13:09 10

  - They even speak English at the United Nations! - zork Feb 27, 13:22
  - Yep, those same people would be upset if a foreign diplomat visiting the U.S. didn't speak to us in English :/ -- nm - Meg Feb 27, 13:18 7
    - Traditionally, isn't French the language of diplomacy? -- nm - zork Feb 27, 13:23 5
      - Up until the end of the 19th century or so. America's rise pretty much ensured English became the predominant diplomatic language. -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 13:27 1
        
        (from the early 20th century, I mean) -- nm - Roger More Feb 27, 13:28

      - yes. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 13:24
