It’s a word-play on “pharmacist”, they just added “chien” on the end. Take the English word “pharmacist” and take “ chien”, which is also the French word for “dog”, and then just mash the words together like so:Īnd holy smokes there you have it, your answer and the real joke. (Which, admittedly did not go well, as you will see from my texts below.)īasically, the entire joke is a play on one single word, which just so happens to be the answer: “Un pharmachien.” There is no English translation for this because “pharmachien” isn’t actually a word at all, it’s two words, mashed together, to form the actual joke. wallpaper aesthetic lockscreen nakahara chuuya bsd chuuya bsd bungo stray dogs anime. Qu'est-ce que vous appelez un chien qui vend de la drogue?Īlthough being grammatically correct, this will not necessarily make the joke easier to understand, but I’m getting to that.īecause I am also a nerd and enjoy a good joke, I sent my girlfriend mooglekingdom13 the newly translated version, and below is a screenshot of what she responded with.Īnd, since she did not understand, naturally I tried to explain it to her. My next couple of posts will also be reposts from that account.
With this new information I typed the English translation into Google Translate, and here is the grammatically correct form of the joke along with it’s answer:
Now, anybody who’s as big of a Grammar Nazi as I am (or just hates grammar errors in general) will automatically know that the joke is not written correctly. That means that both the joke in French and it’s English translation were grammatically incorrect, and so the joke actually roughly translates to: I ended up laughing at the joke, laughing at the Supernatural GIF which made it and even better joke than it was before, but still I kept going back to that damn joke because something just didn’t sit right with me about how it was phrased.Īfter a little bit of thought (and, okay, maybe some help from Google Translate) it turns out that the English translation for the word “comment” means “how” and the word “s’appelle” means “called”. I took French for three years in middle school then got my language credit after taking French 2 my freshman year of high school and,Īlthough I legitimately do not remember everything since the last time I studied French was about four years ago, that still gave me a basic understanding of what was being said. The joke being told is “comment s’appelle un chien vend (13k) 2.52 4.20 (40 off) 70s Retro Euphoria Wall Art, Pastel Print, Holographic Dog Balloon Poster, Fun Playful Pink Illustration Art, Trendy Aesthetic Home Decor (25) 8. Let’s talk about it for a minute, shall we?Īt first I ignored the bit about Supernatural because I hadn’t really actually fully looked at the French sentence yet.
So last night I was browsing Pintrest and I came across this picture right?
