    It’s not that hard look

    • Bourg - a town with no tax in the middle ages
    • Bourgeois - someone who lives in a bourg
    • Bourgeoisie - the whole of people who live in the bourgs

    Just be born with the right first language!

        Yeah 😅 But if the bomb’s instructions spelled it correctly, there would be no challenge for the diffuser. They should have gone with a sorta phonetic boo-zshwah-zee for the text in the comic.

    Tangentially related question

    Do you fucking say the r or not? I always say it with the r, but I’ve heard some people in my reading groups say it without the r.

    The answer to this question will not make me say it differently, I just want to know if I’m being quirky or not.

      I think it depends on how french you want to be, with the r becoming more silent the more french you are.

    To the tune of the Mickey Mouse Club song:

    B O U

    R G E

    O I S I E

    Bourgeoisie, bourgeoisie,

    They’re the ones who have to die

    So we can all live free!

    Bourgeoisie, bourgeoisie,

    B O U!

    R G E!

    O I S I E!

    ‘Bourgeoisie’ is easy, ‘nessecary’ on the other hand

    Proof that I’m a Real Leftist, or at least argue about communism online way too much - my phone’s autocorrect knows “bourgeoisie” and I never actually have to spell it out. Lol.

    I got so frustrated and embarrassed not being able to spell bourgeoisie that I spent like a week writing it at least once a day.
