Here are the "cultural" explanation :
Maison = the house - more precisely "the home"
Poilues = hairy (we have tons of jokes that portuguese women are very hairy - typically we say Mother's day ideal gift (if your mum is portuguese that is) is an electric razor)
Faineants = lazy (didn't know this one about spaniards btw - probably something related to siesta)
On s'en fout = we don't care ! (not sure many frenchies even know about Iceland)
Roux = with red hair (read = not really appealling)
Alcoolos = alcoholics (the brits drink a lot !!!)
Terroristes = terrorits (for our fellow corsicans - they're french but want to be independent from France - thus recurrent attacks on France's symbol on the island : blowing up a post office...and even murders)
Voleurs = thieves (every italian is potentially a thief or a mafioso, don't you know ?)
PD = gay (again, several jokes that all greek men are gay - we even have an expression "go fuck yourself with the greeks !" - that's when someone gets on your nerves )
Accordeonistes = that plays the accordeon (probably for the romanians who beg in the streets - not too sure about this one)
Lents = slow (the swiss speak french quite slowly)
Faschos = fascites
Teube = betes (stupid)
Toxicos = on drugs (that's for the dutch - always smoking grass)
Putes = whores (all eastern european women come to our country to be prostitutes apparently)
Bonnasses = babes (in a more explicit way i'd say) - Scandinavia has the reputation of gorgeous blondes that are good in bed.

| Nah, live in Taunton but it's probably just as boring as Yeovil! Hoping to move shortly. Aw, I like your name, it's more interesting than Laura anyway! You know, that's the first time I've actually thought about the fact that people on here do have real names aswell! Like Abs isn't really called Abs....freaky. |
