two french
Thank you!
@kkfengdao,
yes, they do seem too french
@djjd62,
DJ? Is it possible to be too fresh? I guess one could burn one's tongue on a too freshly baked cookie or similarly cooked item.
Antoine de Rivarol was a writer and epigrammatist. Louis le Laboureur was bailiff of Montmorency and author of several pieces of poetry.
Possibly the OP has been reading Guy Deustcher's book "Through the Language Glass: Why the World Looks Different in Other Languages".
