Miscommunication

I have a friend, who married and move
to France. We get to visit back
and forth thru the magic of online.

She is taking French lessons so
she can talk to the natives. Besides
when in Rome, do as the Roman's,
right?

What has been an interesting
conversation lately was when
she was telling me the
difference in some of the words
they use and we use... They are
the same words but different
meanings. Case in point, the
following:

In France
a canopy, is a couch
tampon...... a stamp with a pad...
pain..... bread
slip...men's underwear
a commode is a dresser
a 104 D bra size..(.no
wonder the French men
are so happy.)

No wonder we don't
understand the French.
Miscommunication...
