Blog: French Letters

Her blog name is...interesting.

Does she know that "french letter" is a slang term for condoms? She might get a whole new readership!

Lovely photos, though. I look forward to reading the rest (but it will only make me envious!).

 
Are you serious? That's hysterical...

especially because this is a couple easily in their late 50's. Ah well...you're right. They could get a whole new kind of readership. LOL!!!!

 
Yep. I believe the term was made popular by soldiers in WWII,

although the dictionary gives 1856 as the term's source date.

My husband was surprised I knew this. smileys/wink.gif But I'm an editor/writer, and we often have odd little bits of information hanging out in our brains.

 
I know Sgt. Friday's badge number from the old Dragnet TV series. How's that for odd info?

It's "714"; just like a common area code in Los Angeles.

It's not just editors,

Michael
