At one point the man asks, “Comment? [Huh?].” The second vowel sounds more like the a in the English “command” than it does “like the “o” in the English “common.” That’s a dead giveaway. Also, the way he says “Oui” is standard Quebecois. It rhymes with the English “way.”<br /> Good catch. But, I wonder, why does the origin of his accent catch your ear? Sorry if this is common knowledge and I’m simply ignorant, but, are you a polyglot? A linguist?</p> Hey,

corn on the cob, in Quebec, (or so I’ve heard) is epluchettes de ble dinde, which translates in Frenchy French as something like “little peelings of turkey wheat”. no direct equivalent in France, because they don’t eat corn on the cob. hardly eat corn at for that matter.

Sorry Punaise,

Une epluchette de blé d’inde is an event where a bunch of folks gather, and over a huge bonfire, cook a untold quantities of corn, slather them in butter and salt, and pig out. Corn on the cob is epi de mais.

Shredded the Paris copy so she could lead with the Lugar story.

So I take back the snark yesterday about daddy issues, Mika. You go, girl.
