S'il vous plait, Qu'est-ce que c'est le Francais pour "je ne sais quoi"?
Reminds me of a very funny exchange in Marianne Ackerman's play, L'Affaire Tartuffe, or The Garrison Officers Rehearse Moliere. There the garrison officers are, rehearsing Moliere, and I believe they had to have a soldier stand in for one of the officers who couldn't be there (not positive that was the situation, it's been awhile since I saw the play!).
One officer reads his line and the soldier reads his response:
Soldier: Qwoy?
Officer: (correcting the soldier) Qwoh.
Soldier: What?!
Hm. Maybe it's funnier live....I still love it - an exchange that consists of the same word repeated three times with different nuances and in two different languages...!

LOL, etaion! One can never resist a good pun, eh?
Oh, dear, Rhuby......I would have never registered as
Ruby, had I known there were two others! I am actually
known as JFN on another site I frequent, so I could
re-register as that. I was just getting kind of tired of it,
and chose RubyRed for this site, because Rubye is
my grandmother's name, and rubies are my birthstone.
I guess I could become RR......but then that makes me
sound like a Railroad, or like Rest and Relaxation, or like
Ronald Reagan..........hmmmm, such a conundrum!
Thanks for the welcome, btw! :)

Don't worry about it, Ruby. Rubrick doesn't take kindly to being shortened (!), in my opinion, and as to Rhuby--well, I started that as a play on gender, so I suppose he could be switched to Barbie, and that would accomplish the same purpose. <Evil Grin> And no, don't become RR, for the reasons you stated. I suppose you could be called Grapefruit...

A humorous bumpersticker/tee shirt slogan seen:
Princess, having had sufficient experience with princes, seeks frog.
sounds like something translated from Latin, eh?
