Funny... 4 years of french and they never taught us that "papercut locator" translated to Désinfectant pour les mains"

[–]ravingheaven 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It doesn't, the second part should have read " localisateur de coupures de mains"

Wow, what a roundabout language. It's almost as if you could win a war before a witty response could be formulated.

[–]French_lesson 5 points6 points ago

That's because the translation is literal and somewhat hackneyed. It's true that languages that use word compounding can and do form new concepts easily (as Germanic languages, and English among them, are fond of).

Romance languages (among which French) are pretty bad at it (by comparison), but it's a bit misleading to think that (alone) makes the language roundabout. Since word compounding is roundabout in those languages, it is in fact not used that much idiomatically. Native speakers do not in general enjoy needless verbosity, no matter the language.

Perhaps a native French speaker would have told a similar joke using something like crème irritante to contrast with the usual products such as crème désinfectante or crème lavante.

tl;dr different languages are different

Right, because it was quicker to do that than come up with a witty response.

Or, if you are like me, a constant reminder that biting your cuticles is death-worthy in the eyes of Purell.

Purell, also known in some states as "hand pain sauce".

I work in a warehouse shipping products. Cardboard boxes are my forte and everytime I go on break I wash my hands and just the soap alone is a reminder of my new cuts on my hand.

Have a paper cur right above my pinkie nail--that thin skin area. Typing this is like fire wrapped in acid.

[–]Savolainen5 0 points1 point ago

At least it's Québecois hand sanitizer. After discovering your paper cut, you can run on down to the dep for some Fin du Monde then head somewhere for some poutine.

Well, it's what I would do.

Also note that because it's Québecois, it wouldn't apologise to you like an anglophone Canadian handsani.

Two years ago, I went to the gym after our school's remembrance day ceremony. I had put the poppy on my backpack, and when I went to take it off, i accidentally scratched it across the palm of my hand. I promptly forgot about it and had an awesome workout. Afterwards, I was leaving the gym, and used the hand sanitizer. Fucking. Ow. Jesus Christ.

When I worked nightcrew I got a ton of little nicks and cuts all the time that I never noticed...unless I went to my parents house for breakfast afterwards. This was the only damn thing they had in their house.
