Speak French?

I've had a guy say lu' and vache. What was he trying to say?

I know he plays chess and try to get him to join RHP. Told him I am phlabibit. He may come in with a name like Ivan... but not sure he will join.

Oh,well. We will see.

"Vache" as a noun is "cow", but as an adjective modifying a person is an insult comparing its subject to an animal.

Hello Phlabibit,

"Une vache" is a cow (in its proper or litterally meaning). But used in its figurative meaning, it may be considered as nasty words . 🙁 If you say to someone "Tu es vache", it means that you are a lazy person and generally you don't want to do anything. 😴

Perhaps he doesn't like USA....

Eh, I don't understand why he would insult me when we were hardly able to talk.

Oh well! Thanx guys.

lu' vache (?)
louis vache (?)
je suis vache (?)
j'suis vache (?)

If he said the latter, he will not come and play on the site. 😀

IvanH.

IvanH... what do the terms mean? I don't speak any French.

Olav... we never even go to play chess.... He added me to his list in Messanger... I just hope perhaps he is a cow cuz he is to lazy to join RHP.

Thanx again all you guys.

Maybe if you give the entire sentence,it might be more clear what he meant.

That is all he said...

He came online and said "Lu' "

I sent a 🙂 cuz I already knew he speaks no English.

Next he said Vache... or whatever....

I said... English???

He said "No".

I said Chess!

He said yes.

I said www.redhotpawn.com

Je me pal Phlabibit. (I am sure I slaughtered the spelling)

He said "i am ivan, bye"

I said "bye bye!"

That was it.

P-

Nice conversation! LOL
Don't think he was calling you a cow though.But I have no idea what he was trying to tell you 😕

j'suis vache (?)

If he said the latter, he will not come and play on the site. 😀

IvanH.[/b]

how do you know? The Brits got 'Mad Cow's Disease', now the French have 'intelegent Cow's disease'. The buggers are playing chess now!

oui oui...?

Well, this is really funny. I don't think he called you Vache(Cow)

I think "Lu" means Hallo. The French swallow a lot of the letters in a word. That's because they love to eat, even their own words.

That "vache" could be a sentence beginning with "Va" which means "go"
"Chez" cold be the next word meaning for instance "Chez moi" or "Chez toi"

Maybe he (are you sure it was a he?) was asking "Chez moi ou chez toi " which means "Your place or mine" .....

... and when you said " Je me pal Phlabibit", maybe he thought you were saying " I'm pal papippit."

... and then he said " I am Ivan, bye "

... and he hung up quickly ........ Lóóóóóól 😵


IvanH.
It certainly was not me 😀

"Je suis vache" means "I'm lazy."

So I guess he will not join RHP.

Did you try to locate an "Ivan" as handle on RHP ?

When I tried to locate Ivan there were about 10 handles that could be him.I did not check whether they were new on RHP or not and I did not check their profiles either.

Good luck.
