I live in France. When trying to teach my kids some Ruby, I showed them how to use _puts_ to print stuff. That would always crack them up, as it sounds (in French pronunciation) just like a not so nice word.


In Quebec, it sounds mostly like the sound of a car horn :p

"POUT! POUT!"

C'est surtout utilise dans le jingle d'une rotisseries tres populaire : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvzukGgd5_Y
