A little sarcasm JaneEyre, we had 48 cm of snow this week end. For all you english system 48 cm is 18.9 inches.

Nice,nice spring. We almost beaten the snow fall record for Ottawa this year. Almost.... I think its around 425 cm (167.3 inches) of snow the record.

I do not wish to "couper les cheveux en quatre" Maxime but in English a Cockerel and a Rooster is the same thing!

A Rooster is normally a young Cockerel.

But a Poule in English is called a "Hen".

Hey! I'm astral!

I think that the problem with this translation is because of the word "Ass" this can also means "Donkey" in English.

I do know that a 'Poule' (English = 'Hen') is colloquial in French for a younger, 'kept', mistress. Wink

Further to that - birds are used as friendly greetings in various parts of the UK - generally to a female.

Eg in Lincolnshire you'd hear "Are you alright

duck

?"
In Glasgow " Yoos ok

hen

?"

Any others ? Grin
