Remember Me movie
15/f
I saw Remember Me with Robert Pattinson in it this weekend. Great movie/ Well I am in french class, and I know that there is a part where he is speaking a tiny bit of french by his sister caroline. well i know that he says Mon dieu! (which is my god), and "French toast" in a french accent but what is teh other thing that he is saying? i could never figure out what someone is saying when they say that phrase.
for those in french it kind of sounds like jacques les blues. but i know thats not what it is. thanks.;

courtesy of wikipedia:
Sacrebleu is an old French profanity, meant as a cry of surprise or anger.
In French, sacrebleu or sacredieu is always written as one word without accent, the 'e' in the middle being pronounced like a faint and short 'eu' (ə). In English, the phrase is often written with two words: sacre bleu and in Dutch Goefeuchtebleu.
The expression is today no longer used in the major French-speaking countries France, Belgium or Switzerland, but in the English-speaking world, it is well known from Agatha Christie's books about the fictional Belgian detective Hercule Poirot.
Assuming Sacrebleu is the term you are refering to. Hope i helped :)

Sacrebleu.
Haven't seen the movie, but I imagine that is it.
Sacrebleu is a mild experession of shock, kind of like 'Holy cow!'. It doesn't really mean anything anymore, although there are a few theories about it coming from the phrase 'sacred blue' and being some sort of curse agianst the Virgin Mary, or the royal family... But it's not really used by the french anymore at all, just by english people pretending to be french.
