The ***** Queen indeed looks like a dog.
But I'm French, so my English etymology may be faulty.. !

You are indeed correct, sir. The word's etymological orgin is indeed canine. Mais le problème, c'est que nous les yankees avons quasiment oublié ce fait. Comme d'hab. L'étymologie? On s'en fiche!

(Et malheureusement, pour une grande partie du monde, l'anglais, c'est l'anglais américain, avec son argot moche, son jargon idiot du jour, et sans aucune respect pour la tradition linguistique...)



(And to make matters worse, we're thoroughly corrupting other dialects of English as well...)

Hey, you ain't a real Yankee !
You know what "etymology" means, speak French and even have a French keyboard boasting all those é è à ù !
