Re:Re:IDIOMATIQUES FRANCOPHONE
"painco" is a perfectly feasible but artificial word, surely created by someone speaking "verlan". "verlan" stands for "à l'envers" and "langue". So, one syllable of "à l'envers" = "ver", and one syllable of "langue" = "lan" are selected and put together in reverse order, which is what "verlan" means, a (cut down) language in reverse order.

Re:Ashkarabally
Hi Sara,
It's difficult to give the meaning of this expression because I have to hear the song, and its context. anyway, it may mean Ashkar(person's name) ala (in) bally (my mind). Again, it depends what the singer is singing. I'm not a gold member but you can always reply if you have any questions. I would to learn to speak Spanish fluently...I understand 75% of it.
Asta luego,

TU ES FOUTU!!!: merci mais...
Je voudrais remercier a Sylvian pour la reponse concernant l'expression "Tu es foutu", mais pouvez-vous m'ecrire encore une fois sur ce mot:FOUTU. Je ne l'ai pas trouve dans mon dictionnaire, donc je ne sais pas si c'est un verbe ou un adjectif. S'il s'agit du participe passe, alors : de quel verbe???

Re:this is so cool
"Slang" and "argot" are more or less equivalent (one is English and the other one French). They are languages used by little social groups.

Re:Re:how to say things in english !!!!
In Ireland we say "I'll ring you" or "I'll call you". I think "ring" is British English rather than American English.
You could also say "I'll give you a ring/call" ie, they can both be used as nouns or verbs.
Slang terms... In Ireland we would also say "I'll give you a shout" to mean that we will phone someone, but I don't know if that's common outside Ireland.
