strangetomatoI learned something new and interesting tonight. My SO and I were listening to Scene Creamers on our i-pod, and they have this song called Housework for Three, right? I couldn't help but notice that the song was obviously about a threesome ("housework for three, nice work if you're the one in between"), so I started musing on how housework could possibly be sexual innuendo (I've used "polishing the brass" before, so I figured it was there somewhere). Then my SO informs me that "menage" actually means "housework" in French, as well as "household." (He did French immersion in school and his maternal grandmother was French.) In Kindergarten, the teacher used to announce that it was "time for menage" and they would clean up the classroom.
It sort of puts a new spin on Johnny's constant insistence that Ripp should partake in doing more housework with him and Phi, don't you think? If he's doing a French course in uni, he could be in for a shock (and Ripp would be all over THAT kind of housework).
