Oui, Oui, in a couple of hours, “Game of Thrones” will wrap up its 8th season. GOT as the very cool people refer to it, is a dark fantasy show with kings, queens, and dragons in Westeros fighting for the Iron Throne. [Spoiler alert]. Ok, now there’s just one left.
Over the years, fans have had characters that they loved and some that they hated. Those characters that are loved have arcs that have not quite changed except mostly in this season. People have fallen so much in love with the arcs of GOT characters that they have named their bébés after them. [Just hope no Francophonie has done this].
Arya is now a common American name. Guess parents love that Arya’s character is a trained assain and a badass who seeks revenge on people with brown, blue and green eyes.
Khaleesi is the name for queen in the fictional Dothraki language, is another character name parents have chosen for their kids. Could be that these parents want someone with leadership qualities and possible skills to ride a dragon.
Whatever happens tonight, some fans of “Game of Thrones” will be mad and others will be content with the series finale. According to CNBC.com, an estimated 4.9 million Americans will extend the mourning period for their favorite HBO fantasy epic well beyond that evening and skip work the following day.
As always, there’s no better way to truly learn a language but through swear words [gros mots]. And if you have never cursed, don’t read further 🙂
Merde – Shit
Putain– Fuck
Putain de merde– fucking shit
Merdasse – A more vulgar version of merde.
Putain de bordel de merde – What you can say when you are très très mad!
And remember when you play The Game Thrones, YOU PLAY TO WIN!
