Wait, you used to call it "chick-filler" and it didn't cross your mind that that's probably not the name of a family friendly Christian restaurant?

You can fill the chicks all you want, it’s the fellas you can’t pork.

Also not even remotely surprised that the British are incapable of pronouncing even the simplest French loanwords.

I never heard of Chick-Fill-A until I read Tucker Max's book about being an rear end in a top hat (and his followup book about being a rich rear end in a top hat) and then the next time I heard of it it was because they were homophobic. Then I found out their slogan is basically a desperate anthropomorphic Jew-cow trying to quissling his way or whatever it's called to good favor by selling out another race to the ovens. Everything about them sounds terrible.

sucks to be right
Fun fact: 'adult' and 'adolescent' are both from the same Latin root word adolescere (grow up, come to maturity, ripen) but 'adolescent' is from the present participle tense adolescentem (growing, approaching maturity, ripening) and 'adult' is from the past participle tense adultus (grown, matured, ripe)

No, no, see, an "adult" is someone that has to pay taxes and get the oil changed in their car every so often; an adult is someone about to disrobe in a hotel room illuminated only by the light streaming in through the venetian blinds

...perfect spiral, scientists are still figuring it out...
'Fillet' is an English word that rhymes with 'millet'. It is both a noun and a verb. The French word 'filet', pronounced 'fillay', may sometimes be found on restaurant menus which often have French names for dishes.

While I'm at it, in English some cheese is blue. If you're not French it isn't 'bleu' for some loving reason.

Unless you're talking about, say, a metal fillet (rounding of an inside or outside corner).

the french word filet means fillet, which is done with a filleting knife.

TIL filet mignon is actually a pork tenderloin

no

the link you're quoting posted:

In French this cut is always called filet de bœuf, which translates in English to beef fillet. The reason that this cut in French is always called filet de boeuf is because, in French, filet mignon always means pork tenderloin.

Filet mignon (/ˌfiːleɪ ˈmiːnjɒ̃/;[1] French for "tender fillet" or "delicate/fine fillet") is a steak cut of beef

In English speaking countries, it is beef. In France, it is pork. This is an English-language board, and you are speaking English, ergo...

Would you happen to remember where you read this? I did some googling around but all I can find is the more recent homophobia scandal, and a small image of their first logo that looks really antisemetic.
