And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

What do they call the little piles of dust that form under furniture in Francophone countries? Mouton, chaton, minou, or bourrier?
In my single daze, other than being a visible indication that it was time to make a few passes with the vacuum-cleaner, never gave "them" a name. In extreme, they also prompted me to field day the cave.
How about, what do they call the wad of lint that collects in belly buttons?
ReplyDeletefuzzguton, gut bunny or grumfuffle maybe?
I’ve been placing those very wads in a container by my bed for over thirty years… The Collector never stops collecting…

DeleteIt's not really Bourre unless it comes from the Bourre region of France. Otherwise, its just dirt...
