"Ton garçon est laid."

[JaySilverman]

This seems mean.

[maparece]

Oui, c'est méchant. ;)

[meepcats]

you know, just in case you need to tell this to someone...

[roman_the_romes]

ah, mais tu es méchant

[Joel-Iowan]

Ironic that the adjective is written the same way as the English laid in 'getting laid'.

[DuFarge]

Yeah, well if you're 'laid' you're probably not getting ....

[surakio]

not ironic that fat/big is "gros"

[Chefie]

There goes your friendship

[bonnie03]

now we can tell someone they are fat and ugly... good start for the county of romance :)

[DuFarge]

Just because someone is fat, it does not necessarily follow that they are ugly. Especially when nowadays fashion dictates 'fat' is a size 10!

[bonnie03]

hi... I'm not saying fat is ugly...I'm saying we know how to use the vocab. European 10 cool. USA 10 ~ fat.

[DuFarge]

Can this also mean that someone is behaving in an ugly manner? Discourteous, etc? Does 'laid' HAVE to refer only to appearance?

[lpacker]

No, "laid" can mean physically ugly or morally corrupt -- repugnant in one way or another.

[BennieCane]

Well, this is a lovely conversation starter. ^-^
