  I remember commenting to a Korean during the 2002 World Cup that I was surprised red was chosen to be the color of the South Korean team. Aside for the traditional taboos about the color, I recalled when the promotional use of red was practically outlawed in South Korea because of its association with the communists.

  Did the subversives get one over?

  Kevin,

  C'est un anglicisme. En plus, un chameau ayant deux orteils on devrait dire "pied de chameau".

  Il paraît qu'on dit les deux en France (Google Images: 693 résultats; Google Web: 1,570,000 résultats). Peut-être que l'expression a été empruntée à l'anglais…?

  Je vois que vous avez cité la référence Wikipédia en français: "Ce terme se traduit en français par « orteil de chameau » (en réalité, le chameau ayant deux orteils, on devrait dire « pied de chameau »)." Du moins il faut citer votre source!

  Un petit survol des liens listés dans les résultats prouve que les Français emploient cette expression dans le langage courant. C'est à dire que, oui, à l'origine c'était probablement un anglicisme, mais maintenant c'est une expression qui fait partie du lexique français actuel.

  so remarkably ordinary.

  Ordinary, yet so doable. It's nice being in Asia where the ordinary women are doable instead of the U.S. where ordinary women are doable, but you'll need a buddy to help.

  Kevin,

  Une recherche sur Google, c'est peu convaincant. Je doute que ce soit une expression couramment employée, en France ou ailleur.

  Je te dirais d'aller voire ce que l'en pense l'Académie française, mais…

  If I got both of those women in the sack at the same time(I know I'm dreaming) I would yell like that European announcer when a team scores "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!"

  Tom Langley 10, I always thought that annnouncer was Mexican.

  Kevin et Teadrinker, Latinum est. Caesar dixit Ciceroni, "Tu desideras digitos cameli."

  Glans,

  Digitos cameli cum laude…vero "laude".

  Was anyone else overwhelmed with the desire to bounce quarters off of their abs into a glass?

  Oh, and K. You may be looking for the word ravish, rape is always bad unless that was your intent.

  Hamilton, I sure have a desire to bounce something off their abs. Wasn't really thinking about quarters — or a glass receptacle.

  Glans, you are almost correct, i.e. comments #9 and #10. The announcers name is Andre Cantor who was born in Argentina and works for Telemundo, the Spanish TV channel. Hey folks, let's have everyone in the conversation, if you want to comment in French, Latin, or other language please put an English translation in there also please. Retired GI, I agree with you, #16. There is a part of me that I'd like to put in those girls 'receptacle'. They get me harder than Japanese arithmetic.

  Not bad they look like they are prime candidates for the juicy bars, just need to smile less they look to happy.

  I forgot to add that I'm upset that they are wearing far too much clothing. I'd sure like to give them a tongue lashing for that.

  Tom Langley 17: Kevin Kim 1 means, "Camel toe, on the left." Teadrinker 4 means, "I'ts an Anclicism. Besides, a camel has two toes. One should say 'camel foot'. " Kevin 5 discusses it a little more, having found camel toes with Google, accuses Teadrinker of using Wikipedia without attribution, admits that the concept of camel toes probably began in English, but says the French equivalent is widely used. Teadrinker 8 says Google research isn't very convincing and makes a very rude remark about the French academy. I can read French a little, but I can't write it, so I joked in Latin, Glans 11 , that Caesar said to Cicero, "You need camel toes." Not to be outdone, Teadrinker 13 threw in the academic phrase "cum laude" i.e. with praise, used for the college degree of a good student.

  We do what we can to maintain the intellectual level of rokdrop.

  "Teadrinker 13 threw in the academic phrase “cum laude” i.e. with praise, used for the college degree of a good student."

  …Not exactly what I meant, though. Use your imagination.

  Thanks Glans for the translation. K, if I had those two girls I would come very loud & proud as well. I'd have those girls quivering like a fish on a hook.
