    I hear you, I dropped the Devil's language in highschool as soon as I was able to do so. I still get PTSD just thinking about the listening exercises on tape cassettes, where usually someone told her entire life story in about a single minute. Unbelievable how fast people can talk in French.

    I always laugh to myself when people think French is hard. Try learning Polish and you'll hate yourself

      No, that would be la petite mort.

      If you're using the feminine version of the and little, why are we using the masculine version of death? Sincerely, an American who barely speaks French.

        I'll never hate a language which has a separate Wikipedia page about its profanity. Such a colourful language!

          No it is not. It's the most fucked up language to learn and write.
          French is la merde!

          Do you know English? You wouldn't be saying these things about French if you knew English.

                What does that have to do with anything? Whenever a man has an orgasm, the prostate adds its juice to the ejaculate - regardless of how the orgasm was achieved. Hence, there is no climax where the prostate isn't involved. That's why I was saying every orgasm is technically a prostate orgasm.
                Also, when OP takes about his goth queen giving him a "prostate orgasm", I very much doubt she stuck to exclusively stimulating the prostate. Very likely, she just added direct stimulation of the prostate to what most people do to make a guy cum. So, if true, it would have been rather a penis+prostate orgasm, if we name it after the body parts the that were stimulated.

                    The noun death is always la mort (le petite morte as used by the other poster is just wrong). The dead person can be le mort (masculine) or la morte (feminine). The adjective for dead is mort for masculine and morte for feminine, as in l'arbre mort (the dead tree, masc.) or la fleure morte (the dead flower, fem.).

                      Well then your first argument just got creamed by your second one, because the prostate isn't stimulated with every ejaculation. It's just a contributor to the final Batter-Blast™ just like the testes. The difference, is that trans rectal manipulation of the prostate, either with, or without simultaneous stimulation of the penits, yields a much different and usually stronger Cummingtonite, than without it. Actually, this would be a lot easier with an example, do you have a prostate, or one nearby that you can use?

                        Real, but slightly meta question: who decides the gender of new things? Like, who decided if cellphones, or AI, or computers are male or female? What is the gender of a dildo?

                          In general, most words follow certain patterns, for example words ending in -ion are always feminine, -age is always masculine, most words that end in a consonant that is not "n" are masculine (la mort evidently doesn't follow these patterns). For most words using the wrong article sounds unnatural to the trained ear. Most new words are either derived from old words and keep their gender or they are picked up from other languages and adapted to French either by sound or by meaning (only works if there's already a french word with the same or similar meaning). Sometimes it's undecided, for example le covid and la covid are both acceptable, personally I think it should be le as it sounds more natural.

                            Cool. I fancy myself a bit of a word neard, so I find this stuff interesting... so a dildo is masculine then?
