How would someone be arrested for serving you mayonnaise, soy sauce, etc.?

The fact that this wasn't shooting someone is why I'm clapping.

Different levels of revenge: had it really been what she'd initially told them it was, it would have been bad.

But the redneck demo tag is unfair: all the Hallyday fans I know have never exhibited any racism toward me...and I lived amongst francophones (Belgian and French) for the majority of my adult life.

Again, I run with a different crowd...and I have actually been to a Hallyday concert, which was an experience, I tell you: he had definitely seen better days, but the audience was packed and they showed him love. Also, the other people in the audience were welcoming to me and showed me nothing but warmth, which is…

It's probably similar to the working class in the US who bestow on their children "unique" names or common names with "unique" spellings (Alyxandria): it's an attempt at giving their children something special that they lack economically. Similarly, giving a child a status symbol name (Porsha is popular because of…

Again, maybe I travel in circles that are lower in economic class (many friends in the north of France), so they like Anglo-Saxon names...and they don't mock themselves (although they are better at self-deprecation than the classes who mock them - but I think that's their proximity to Belgium, where the people laugh…

But the Kevins have survived even as fashions have changed (like Johnny, I suppose) I'm a product blanc kinda guy, so I do consort with my share of Kevins....

And then there was Steeve from A la Recherche de la Nouvelle Star: never have I been so embarrassed of my name (although I am more economical with my vowels)...

So true...I'd star you more if I could...

I lived in Belgium for longer than I care to remember, and a bit in the north of France (I still do work for people in Lille). Perhaps you associate with a better class than I do, but I have personally met at least three ch-tis named Kevin...so maybe I'm generalizing unfairly.

The one thing about unique names: less chance of identity theft. There are 18 people in my city with my first and last name. In the Philippines, they very often go with original first names because the original Spanish settlers left behind only a small batch of Spanish surnames: so rather than make their son yet…

Jennifer and Jessica are popular in France, too...

Agnès is one of those names that sounds lovely in French, but horrid in English. Old names come back in style when there are too many Jennifers and Jessicas (as you know, both very popular in France, too). I'd love to meet a little Auguste or Jacqueline (unfortunately, Madeleine had been destroyed by the little…

I've just made the same Bovary reference...and, yes, I do know quite a few French Emmas...

I know you're joking, but the first name of Flaubert's Madame Bovary was Emma (1858)...so it's a bit like saying Michelle, Stephanie and Louise aren't English.

You wanna know what's funnier? The French love the name Kevin...love it! (While the name is sort of a joke in the UK, along with Tracy and Sharon)

But African-Americans get so much grief from certain quarters when they DO decide to give their children unique names...

I can't give you enough stars...

His black players didn't care? They were under contract with him: speak out against a billionaire (especially a litigious billionaire) and see who wins. Oh, and this from 2012:
