My french professor is from Senegal and has been in the US for a few years (shes bad as hell too :noah:) and today she was teaching us character traits. note that she has a "no english" policy while we're class is in session so its tough for the class to pick up on some things.

So like always today the class was having a tough time understanding what certain words meant and one of the students asked her to repeat what "gros" meant and she tried re-explaining but the student was still confused, so she says "no gros means big like uhh, how you say uhh...fat, large." she then pointed to this fat white girl and says "pour exemple, (girls name) es gros" and gives the kid (who asked the question) the most casual nod as if to say "Do you understand now :troll: ?"

in my mind i was like :damn: and i look over at the girl and she looked bewildered and hurt. It was like a combination of :dwillhuh: :mjcry: :martin: :mjcry:

the whole class was looking like :dame: when she said it but i legitimately dont think she realized what she had done. shyt had me :mjlol: though because this isnt the first time she's unintentionally insulted a student trying to get her point across.

I think you meant she said: "Par exemple (girl's name) est grosse"

And maybe she did it on purpose.

Remind me of a similar story in highschool. Obese people are rare in France, and I was at the school with my 4 or 5 years old lil breh.

We walk past this obese student and my lil breh literally hit the :gucci:
And start dying laughing like :laff:, pointing him and telling me "look at the sir! Look at the sir!"

I told him that was not nice and felt a little bad, but thinking about it again later :mjlol: kids are brutally honest

Above the fray.
Mcdonald's spokesman is trolling us with the story. College student taking French having to be told what the word "gros" means?
