Okay so basically I'll have the results for my first baccalaureat exams in fifteen mn
 

Fourteen actually. I'll have three notes: Oral french, written french, and TPE (some strange discipline where you must do a research on something and then present your research).
I'm not really stressed, but I'm looking forward to it.
Thirteen minutes

good luck, friend!

Eleven minutes.

Thanks!

Actually it's 9 minutes according to SYG

happy oral!

good luck

Yikes! A-Level results are only out halfway through August so plenty more worrying for me.

How was the oral french ?

Still seven minutes to go I think

I'm stressed for you.

i used to have a girlfriend who took the french bac

she sounded like a PTSDed war veteran when she talked about it

YAHA!

TPE: 19/20
Oral french: 15/20
Written french: 14/20

Great stuff!
Congratulations!

congratulations?

does that mean you can be a lawyer?

19/20 in TPE wow 19 is suppa-good right?

what was your research on?

Well done !!!

 

19, 15, 14....

That's impressive !!!

 

he's prolly out getting drunk as we speak :D

enjoy!

He's here :

 

Haha. Those Verlan (l'envers) slang words are damn confusing - teuf = fete right?

Yeah, that's right.

Congratulations, SYRFox - great news!

Thanks y'all!


Ahah, not getting drunk but I'll party tonight! Yayz!

Congratulations, these marks sound super good... At least, it would have been at the time I passed it (especially a mark like 19/20 was very rare at the time, I seem to remember)...


By the way, does anyone know if other languages have an equivalent of verlan?

OK, apparently yes:

yeah in argentina, lunfardo is this ancient so-called "criminal" argot which includes tons of reversed words.


lemmi see, something you can read...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunfardo
there!

--

many of those reversed words remain or are created anew in the slang of other south american countries however.

in peruvian slang, while it's not "codified", theres a ton of slang words like that.

ooh, i think i've heard about it in a tv documentary about argentina...


hmmm... "feca" sounds too much like an other word to be appetizing...

reminds me of the expression "me cago en la leche" too.

NEEEEEEEERD :D

I got my AP results!

They are out of 5.

I got a 2 on Chemistry (the only thing I learned from that class was that I am not interested in science.

I got a 4 in US history, and a 5 in English.

So I'm happy.

Great guy! Congratulations :)

Thanks. :D

ha ha yeah hm "feca" is lame. well i didnt say it was "cool", it's just an annoying affectation, byt yeah.

me cago en la leche, ha ha ha-- that's from spain-- we latin americans don't say that at all.

other places where spaniards cagan are-- dios, cristo, la ostia, (somebody's) puta madre, etc.

i hope you've fully recovered!

Haha I mentioned the cago en la leche phrase to my Guatemalan friend once and he just gave me a weird look.

apparently my paternal grandfather used to scream "me cago en cristo!" whenever he was frustrated or pissed off, which i'm told happened often.

heard in the subway in Madrid (not by me, though) where two men were arguing loudly: "me cago en tus muertos!"

apparently it's quite harsh, even for Spaniards who are used to cagar everywhere...

when i was around twelve, i did a trip with my class in Spain and our teacher made us all buy a very small guide which included also a lot of vocabulary / useful phrases... we discovered quickly that there were 3-4 pages entirely consisting of insults, and this is where we learned the most vocabulary during the trip. can't remember that much, though.
