We posted your version of La petite poule grise on our Belgian pages with an English translation. My mom is French-Canadian and sang another version of Dodiche Dodo to me as a child.

I got the spelling from her and it may not be correct, but here it is:. By jumping in the ocean to get her ring i think. Anyone know what its called and how it goes? Niki, we have several songs about an idiot drowning himself to get the girl her ring. Would you have more clues, like the tempo for example? I am actually very interested in knowing the name of any french lullaby about a boy drowning himself to get the girl her ring!

Please, please let me know! Thanks for the sharing the lullaby. Hello I am looking for a lullaby that my Mimi sang to me when I was very little. I am putting most of this down phonetically: If i recall it has something to do with—go to sleep my angel,little one? Ancestry was french canadian. Anybody know anything about this one??

Thanks ahead of time: In Canadian and Louisiana French, it means doll or mannequin. My french grandmother used to sing me a little song with words that sounded like the following.

Dodo Poulette, ma mignonnette Faites un tour, un petit tour Embrassez tous vos amours Toujours! But in reality once in France you are as much likely to hear people use the slang word "chiottes" to refer to the loo, bog, john This word has scores of slang terms in every language and French is no exception. No surprise that a country known for its great wine would have tonnes of words for it.

Yes, bad wine is even possible in France. France saw its lowest birth rate last year in over a decade, but its number of slang words for children is doing just fine.

And for kids you're likely to hear "les gosses" in more informal settings. The criminal underworld is awash with jargon, presumably in order to cloak its nefarious activities. Here are just a few of the French slang or informal terms for crooks: Cops seem to employ just about as much slang and jargon as their criminal counterparts.

Many, many French expressions use food to paint a picture, which is perhaps some manifestation of the country's obsession with what's on the table. As affairs of the heart can be complicated, it's perhaps fitting that there is a slew of words to describe one's male romantic partner in France. French ladies are known in the Anglo world for their trim figure, effortless style and top notch parenting skills.

The first Frech words you'll be taught are Bonjour and Au revoir. Don't us wrong they are useful, in fact "bonjour" is probably the most important word in French. But in informal situations in France you are much more likely to hear "salut" which can also be used to ssay goodbye or even "Coucou".

For goodbye you'll often hear peple just sat "A Plus" or even "bisous", which means kisses. The French are avid drinkers, behind only Russians and Brits for the title of world's biggest consumer of alcohol. These phrases are generally OK in polite company. With kids being behind most slang words it's not surprising that there is a slang word for school, which is "bahut".

And it's the same for university, which you will probably hear students refer to as "le fac". It's worth noting that "bahut" is also slang for taxi and truck as well. It's pronounced [bah u]. And there's also a slang verb for "to get dressed" - "se fringuer" - that you can use instead of "s'habiller". And finally it will come as no surprise to anyone that the French, famous for their smoking habits, have a few different words for cigarettes.

There are plenty of slang names for family members in France: Then there is the slightly derogatory "les vieux", which is used to refer to parents, to the distinctly derogatory "belle-doche" which is an alternative to "belle-mere" for mother-in-law. Oh and you might hear the family dog referred to as a "clebard" rather than a "chien". And lastly, if someone tells you that they "kiffe" your new hair cut, take it as a compliment.

However, don't bother telling an elderly person that you "kiffe" anything of theirs. The likelihood of them knowing what you mean is slim. So you will understand why older people may not view this as a positive word, either.
