How do they pronounce fin de semaine “weekend”?

The first time we took Molly, our BT to France I wondered what the French might be for “Border Terrier” in case someone might ask what breed she was. I decided I’d not bother with a literal translation and hoped I’d not be asked. We were strolling through the Pyrenees, when a French lady passed and stopped to give her a fuss and said “Elle est un(e) Border Terrier?” 🙂 I was relieved I hadn’t tried being a smart-arse.

We chatted for a while about dogs and as we said goodbye, she said “Elle est tres mignon” and I thought to myself “No, you can’t eat her…” Turns out “mignon” is a word for “cute”. 🙂
