A6: David Sedaris tells how when he lived in Paris he ordered food in plural b/c he couldn't remember the noun's gender. I've made this mistake, &, like him, got 2 cakes because a Parisian waiter wanted 2 teach me a hard lesson. Instead, it was sweet. #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A6: A classic. The French verb "baiser" means to kiss or...something more sexual. I always get them mixed up. Did that while speaking with a very distinguished older French friend. Also the word "bordel" which can mean "a real mess" or...#culturetrav
