Yeah you still had to argue about a language you clearly do not speak.
That is so typical of you that I begin to think you're actually an American.

It should be evidence of 2 things: your have a right to an opinion, but your opinion can be flat wrong.
And you are an arrogant person that should learn some humility who you are blabbering about things you don't know...

And gimme a break putain de bordell, you cannot figure that out yourself???
Translated as f***ing *ell?

Try again.

actually i had my sister translate that for me back in the day when it happened and she spent 10 years in Paris and Grenoble so my only question was if i remembered correctly what she told me it meant.....

My arrogance feeds of people that wait in line to prove i am wrong....to this day the line is pretty big...so wait your turn please....others are infront of you..

Stéphane Prevot has also done once with Verhoestraete in Belgium . Prevot said don't cut like in the notes and Laurent Verhoestraete didn't listen and almost crasched after he had cut the corner . Prevot was FURIOS

He said "Dix foix trop tard" and trop tard is TOO SLOW which makes perfect sense, NOT "10 times slower" which does NOT make sense at all.

Try NOT speaking things you do NOT know NOT.

(which would of course me silence and that would be trop bon!)
(dix fois trop bon)

In fact, "trop tard" doesn't mean "too slow" (="trop lent"), but "too late"

I've heard strong rumours that most likely the legendary scene where Gigi smacks D'Amore was somewhat preplanned "incident" to gain more TV air time for the crew/team. And they didn't fail, the clip has been shown hundreds of times in different occasions. :)

Yeah, he got what he deserved..
