Oh gawd, there's some of mine and TRP86's old fanart on the pictures page, LOL. Shame she's hidden nearly all of her DA gallery again.

Anyway, I'm pretty damn sure there was definitely a French Rayman forum, could have been located somewhere else. Either way, I'm surprised some of these old fansites are still up after all this time.

The majority of Rayman fansites I used to lurk around don't exist anymore, or they're dead. Maybe they just changed their location... Who knows? (Back then, I never chatted on the internet, so I have no clue if Raymancool had a French forum. But I'm guessing you're probably right. They might have had one...)

There was also Le Monde Rayman, philippe317's website, which had a forum too. It became inactive when RZ came up and it got hacked a few months later.

Dying

mourant / en train de mourir.
Dead

mort.
It died

il est mort.
Death

la mort.
Quite simple, eh?
Please

s'il vous plaît / s'il te plaît (use the second one on a forum)
And for slang and idioms, it would take me years to write it all down. Ask me is there's anything you don't understand.
Oh, one thing:
The Great Flying Poo

le Grand Caca Volant.

Actually it's "sacre bleu!"

Funny enough I can remember the French words to Heads, Shoulders Knee and Toes. XD

I thought he spelt it wrong XD
What does it actually mean, anyway?

It's just an old-fashioned exclamation.

The Google translator says it literally means "blue coronation"

Well yeah, although “sacrebleu” is supposed to mean “sacre de Dieu” (God's coronation), but the word “bleu” (blue) is used as a substitute for “Dieu” (God) in order to avoid blasphemy.
