When I was still working the folks hanging around the "water cooler" liked to talk about random things........

Many years ago (early 1970s) an angry chap at a midwest regional bridge tournament called his overtly gay opponent "a lousy cocksucker". His opponent immediately summoned the director and complained loud and long - about the use of the adjective "lousy".

hmmm, maybe a right place to discuss such topics like: Is American Football a real football or only handball with strange rules ;)

:) :lol: :lol:

BTW: the term football orginally was to say you did it running or walking opposed to riding a horse.

We're going over to my folks' house for dinner tomorrow afternoon. It seems like Sunday afternoon dinners were somewhat traditional when I was growing up but they are rare events now. When my wife and I drove around France a few years ago it seemed like Sunday afternoon family dinners were still going strong. I love that ... and all the craziness that goes with it ... like the WC without the food and the intervening 6 days of other types of craziness.

Does anybody know how to say "indeed" in French? Google translate says "en effet".

I would say "bien sur" which means "certainly."
But my last French lesson was over 30 years ago.

How about this:
even, indeed
actually même

certainly, indeed, surely, absolutely, decidedly, definitively
certes, si, d'abord

genuinely, indeed, really, truly, actually
en réalité, réellement

absolutely, genuinely, indeed, really, truly, legitimately, in sooth
en fait, en vérité, vraiment, bien

My mind makes strange connections. This reminds ne of an old Loretta Lynn song:
