No, it's not "foutent"! It's "fouettent", from the infinitive "fouetter", meaning "to whip". Presumably all the ingredients are going to be whipped together?

No idea how you came about casually listening to that song by choice in the first place and then noticing one word, searching it up and finding out it could be a 'naughty-naughty'? In French as well - preparing for a listening exam? :mmm:

Hahah no! I'm at University now, studying Biology :colondollar:

I just really like French and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I wanted to see how French dealt with the rhyming, but then I noticed that word

That's what I thought, I wonder if this guy on the French forum is just trolling people. . .

Let me have a read through their "lyrics" for the other songs and I'll see if they all contain swears

@Josb What's the f word in French?

My French teacher at GCSE said that there were a lot of ways of saying it depending on if it was a noun/verb.

Oh yes she said that there isn't actually a specific word for it, that the f word in French is just other words but put into a strong sentence / context.

E.g. - "Baiser" means "To kiss" but used in a strong context / sentence it = f'ck

It is a great film though. And book. :u:

Do you prefer book or film versions more, generally? Whilst there's more detail and originality in novels, having watched Harry P beforehand helped me imagine and read the characters in their respective voices and see them in my head. (Spoiler, I know but the books were a trek to get through whilst young :s-smilie:

)

I'm very very confused.

I listened to Veruca Salt's song, from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and one line of the lyrics sounds like:

"Qui prennent les narines et qui foutent !
Et qui foutent"

When I Google Translated (yes, I know I shouldn't use this) the lyrics, it said that "Foutent" means f***ing.

Proof:

Here if anyone wants to listen:

It's "fouettent", they stink. Ils foutent doesn't make any sense there.
