MOTS DU JOUR NO. 2

Words of the day in French, these are just the residuals. 

Horaire = schedule
Citrouille = pumpkin
Char = car (normally it's voiture)
Chum = Friend (like english)
Fru = frustrated 
Magasiner = to go shopping 
sou = cent
Tabarnac = hooker (baaaad word..)
Capoter = to panic


Some additional proverbs

1) Il fait le temps de canard
Literal translation: Its ducky weather or weather of the duck
Meaning: It's foggy, rainy and cold outside, basically really annoyingly bad weather

2) Pleuvoir a boire debout
Literal translation: to rain so much that one could stand up drinking 
Meaning: GOD, that's a lot of rain! 

I of course chose these because of the grueling and lovely Canadian weather.

Till I see you at home
The Viking
