The Name of the Game
During idle conversation between members of the rest of the Cuba group (there were 16 of us), I picked up on a word being said in a conversation that I wasn't a part of that I had heard before but didn't know the meaning of.
Me: "What does morpion mean?"
Emilie, pointing to her crotch: "Nether lice."
Me: "Crabs? Oh."
...
Me: "Wait a minute. Doesn't the French Gaming Commission (Française des Jeux) have a lotto card that's called Morpion?"
Charlotte: "Yup. Because you have to scratch it."
...
I find it hilarious that the French gaming industry would call a scratch lotto card after pubic lice...
And it just occurred to me that I have no idea how the subject of morpions came up in the first place.
I don't think I want to know.

Ha! Ha ha hahahahahaha!
I think I have a new word to call someone if they piss me off. And they'll never know...
Ya know, that's what I can the kids--les morpions...
I've always found the French a bit humourless, but maybe I just didn't get their jokes!
