I think you need a comma after "phrase in," or LilyMae might be offended.
I catch your drift, but I don’t think that LilyMae would have been offended, her posts suggest that she’s intelligent enough to know what I meant, but perhaps I could have worded my post in a better way.
How about, LilyMae, if you like to use the occasional foreign phrase, try this one, “Le seul vrai langue au monde est un baiser”, (The only real language in the world is a kiss.)
It worked well for me when I was in France!
.. try this one, it used to work wonders for me in Toulouse and Lyon, before I got married of course! Le seul vrai langue au monde est un baiser..
Ah! Dans le temps.. we had a grand time, n'est ce pas?
But, on to a more profound discussion, worthy of my intelligence (she says, tongue in cheek ;-)
Today, I've had (more than one) reason to explore the word harry - to harass - as a verb. And harrier - one who engages in attacks on others - as a noun. As in "The English army waited until spring to go and harry the Welsh"
And then there is the Harrier aircraft which was named after the Northern Harrier hawk - a bird of prey. And the Harrier dog breed, described as a swift, prey-driven packhound of medium size first bred in medieval England to chase hare.
And of course the proper names Harry and Harriet (a form of Henry/Henriette, which are from the Germanic Heimerich, from heim meaning home and ric meaning power or ruler)

shilelagh - a wooden walking stick or club, associated with Ireland and Irish folklore. (the Boston Celtics logo is a leprechaun leaning on his shilelagh)
I saw this word in a book I'm reading and it reminded me of when I was a kid. Our neighbor the dairy farmer (Mack) had a shilelagh to guide the cows into the barn at milking time. He'd pay my brother and me a nickle or a dime (if he had one) to chase them down through the fields if we heard him calling them - Hey, hey, hey bossy - and we could see that they were none to keen on responding. We'd get them moving for him.
I love the cliches Mama (and countless others, of course) used to say as we grew up.
<>7. Lord, help me to never judge another until I've walked in his moccasins for at least two weeks

Then you'll have his moccasins and you'll be miles away!
