Fantastic poem, and I appreciate the translation. I work on French, on and off. For the first time, I identified a French pun in the wild a few months ago: “bombe anatomique”. I thought “ooli” was German, though.
that is very nice of you. Ooli.. come from Olivier. Back in 2000, I was in a chat room, and couldnt use 'Oli' (Short for Olivier) as a nickame.. so I added another "O" in front and I liked the look and strangeness of it Getting a pun in a foreign language is the highlight of learning a new language
That makes total sense, I work with an "Olivier" from France, actually. Ouf, you couldn't count the number of "merci"s and "perdon"s I used on the French subway with my huge bags of luggage during morning rush hour. Someone made me do it, I just wanted to Uber to the airport :(
