    The French calling orgasms “the little death” has always stricken me as most excellent.

    However “The face of the little death” for ahego (don’t google; I just learned the hard way) doesn’t make sense.

    It should be “visage haletant” or something less of a mouthful.

        The streamer one in particular is like the French version of that 4chan green text about American vs British names. “MFW they call it a ‘gun’ instead of a Rooty Tooty Point And Shoot”

        I don’t speak French so I’m not confident on the syllable count…but it takes like 5x longer to say, right?
