Alec came home from school yesterday with
this story; some boys in his class asked
Alec, "comment on dit (how do you say)
connard en englais?"
Alec heard "cannard" and said "duck." For
the rest of the day the boys were yelling to
each other, "you duck, you duck."
The two words sound very similar
yet their meanings are very different!

translates connard as jerk but this is the
polite version. You can imagine
what the boys thought they were
saying.
