Today I learned that Americans call the main course the "entrée"
What?!?
@lizardsquid What's so weird about that?
@Felthry @lizardsquid s/weird/confusing people whose language they “borrow” from/
(“entrée” is def. French)
@kellerfuchs @lizardsquid well yeah I know it's French. I never knew that it was called something else elsewhere though
@Felthry @lizardsquid My point was, in French “entrée” means starters. 😭
@kellerfuchs @lizardsquid english is well known for being nonsensical!
@kellerfuchs @Felthry @lizardsquid This confused me too when I found out about it! I don't speak French, but entrée meaning starter has made its way into British English as a loanword, albeit an uncommon one.
@lizardsquid oh, huh. Weird. I suppose that's another way that Americans are weird.
