Nah, my french is terrible. Most of it I picked up in the military... Giving rifle assembly instructions was particularly fun (...maitenant, vous prenez le truck la, et vouz le metez dans cette machine ici...* ?). I've never thought about it, to be honest. It does seem like most people I know refer to the piece in french.
