I hadn't noticed the flamethrower in your avatar before, and merely spoke of your avatar in general, nuclear bLast included.

Hmmm, I said (basically) "throwing flames at me isn't likely to raise my temperature". If I'm the nuclear bLast, the flamethrower is in the other guy's hands.

Oh, and I can only concur with your comment regarding Languages and small misinterpretations. One of our fellow countrymen innocently asking for a "douche" would certainly face an odd reaction. (A "douche" in French merely means a shower, which is not quite the same meaning as in English) But I am digressing once more.

Heh... even funnier, this can also happen among people using the same language. Eg, never say "Tiens, je vais vous montrer une photo de mes gosses" to a Québequois.

I see; at long Last, I got that comment about your temperature and your avatar. Slow? Who, moi?

Thanks for the warning about the "gosses" in Quebec; that was one I didn't know of, though I do not have any child, so I wouldn't have used the phrase to begin with. Still, that would be a classic case of misunderstanding at best.

Maybe not, but you could still say something like "J'aime bien vos gosses", which wouldn't be better...
