You ever carry a cute dog who is brandishing a big pink erection through a grocery store? You get some pretty funny looks. My favorite was the lady who didn’t notice the boner until she leaned in to coo, "Oh la la le petit chien!" and then she looked down said “Dis donc, il est content!”
Her response is why I have a "girl crush" on all of France. Also, the fact that I can take my dog into the grocery store and the employees practically thank me for doing it.

Reading that, I couldn't help thinking of the Scottish comedian Billy Connolly's story, the punch-line of which is "Have ye iver seen a dachsund try to run upstairs wi' a hard-on?"

I second the 'eww' - but what a shortest-funniest post!

Only a french woman could find a graceful and charming comment to a stranger's dog's hard-on. Love it.

This has little to do with this blog itself, though hilarious, I must add.
I am dating a guy who speaks French (specifically the Canadian-based French).
He calls me cou cou, which he says is pet name for bunny. Everywhere I look up bunny, it is lapin and cou cou refers to necks.
Perhaps cou cou is a colloquial expression?
Thanks for the help :)
