Comment allez-vous?
English translation: How is it going?
Literal translation: How is your bowel movement going?
Actually this one needs a little more explanation . . . this is one of the first phrases learned in your first days of french class, but the phrase originated back in the Renaissance. The complete phrase was 'Comment allez vous à la selle?', which literally translates to 'How is your bowel movement going?"
Sounds like a personal question, and it was. Back in the day of bad healthcare, the best way to figure out how healthy you were was the condition of your poop.
Thought you should know.
