Ceci c’est un pipe: |

Put that "command not found" in your pipe and smoke it!

Non, cela est une « barre verticale ». Un façon dont on peut l'utiliser est comme un pipe, mais on peut aussi l'utiliser dans beaucoup d'autres manières.

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Nah, pipe is better cause it's shorter. Vertical Bar takes too damn long, no one got the time for that.

[-] eltimablo@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago

If it was supposed to be called a vertical bar, they wouldn't have put a pipe on the key.

You can't do this ridiculous shit to me this early in the morning.

Take your upvote and get out!

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

Would it not be "Ca, c'est un pipe"?

[-] Fargeol@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago

"Une" pipe, but yes, that would be the correct way to emphasize the object.
As a matter of fact, french dubbed version of Crocodile Dundee says "ÇA, c'est un couteau" in this scene.

The phrases pictured are correct.

[-] 7heo@lemmy.ml 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Genre. "Les phrases dans l'image sont correctes.". Ou pas...

Sérieux, y'a moyen d'éviter de sortir des conneries grosses comme la lune avec l'aplomb de Chatte J'ai Pété, des fois? Ça nous changera, tiens. 😮‍💨

Edit: yeah, the correct phrasing would indeed be "Ça, c'est un tuyau" ("Pipe", in French, exclusively means "Smoking pipe", and as a slang, "Face", or "blowjob"). In the spirit of the joke, "Ça, c'est une pipe" would be acceptable, but only understandable by people who know the English term. However, "C'est une pipe" is absolutely wrong contextually: the lack of the contradiction implied by "ça" creates a semantic disconnect and the two images seem completely unrelated. Not only does it break the humorous device, but it also is absurd enough to be mildly irritating. So, no, the "phrases pictured" are not correct.

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago

Oui oui baguette. Thanks for clarifying!

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Except that the second, therefore, should be "tuyau" rather than pipe, no?

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Yeah. And it should be "un" because pipes are male in french. A piping ("tuyauterie") is female though !

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

Outstanding material garçon

[-] pedz@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

As another comment points out, there is a mistake with the second sentence.

The word combination works but it does not contradict the first negation.

Ceci n'est pas une pipe = This is not a pipe

C'est une pipe = It's a pipe

What you want is to simply remove the negative "n' + pas".

Ceci est une pipe = This is a pipe

With other examples...

Ceci est un garçon = This is a boy

Ceci n'est pas un garçon = This is not a boy

C'est une fille = It's a girl

Ceci est une fille = This is a girl

Ceci n'est pas une fille = This is not a girl

Ceci est un commentaire = This is a comment

Ceci n'est pas un commentaire = This is not a comment

C'est simple n'est-ce pas? = It's simple is it not?

[-] CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?

Fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, far better

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 2 points 9 months ago

Wait wait wait... So I only know a small amount of French and mostly from media I've watched, so unless I'm mixing words here when I've heard "garçon" (pronounced garsonne?) in a restaurant, they're literally calling the waiter "boy?"

[-] pedz@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Indeed. Never gave a second thought to the word but apparently it's the name of a young male servant. The pronunciation ends with a nasal vowel as there is no trailing "e" at the end. In IPA that's /ɡaʁ.sɔ̃/. If you say /ɡaʁ.ɔn/ it makes it sound female.

Un patron = male owner

Une patronne = female owner

[-] Hazmatastic@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

You are correct. This is mentioned in the opening scene of Pulp Fiction by the way.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 2 points 9 months ago

Thanks! It's been such a long time since I watched that, looks like I need to watch it again lol

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

When you realize that Crocodile Dundee is basically a retelling of Tarzan's New York Adventure, it's a lot more fun.

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Thats not actually a pipe though.

That's a foam-and-fiberglass toy, usually used in (post-apocalyptic) Live-Action Role Play, or LARP, as a weapon or "boffer" to smack other players without actually breaking their bones in real life.

Specifically, this is the Calimacil Neo.

[-] TunaCowboy@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Kinda interested in hearing Mick Dundee speak in a French accent.

[-] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Bottom pic should be a bong 😂

[-] fl42v@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Bong or bonk... Who cares
