When you say 'ChatGPT' in French, it sounds like 'Chat, j'ai pété' – which means 'Cat, I've farted'.

@cmconseils That’s hilarious, I will never unhear it now. French just turned “ChatGPT” into a whole different personality. I guess even AI has its awkward moments

@cmconseils A famous french joke.

Like the Audi E-tron (in French étron means something like excrement...)

@cmconseils Which you may have occasion say when a cat is under the bed clothes.

I had heard of Le Pétomane, but I never put together that it translates as "The Fartomaniac" before, and that conjures a very different vibe.

@cmconseils In acountry that has to deal with a Toyota MR-2 and a Audi etron, this is probably just a minor inconvenience.

I approve of this, and use it in official documents when possible.
