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 :arrow: mourant / en train de mourir.
Dead :arrow: mort.
It died :arrow: il est mort.
Death :arrow: la mort.

Quite simple, eh?

Please :arrow: 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 :arrow: le Grand Caca Volant.

Actually it's "sacre bleu!" :P Funny enough I can remember the French words to Heads, Shoulders Knee and Toes. XD

It's just an old-fashioned exclamation.

The Google translator says it literally means "blue coronation" :P

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.
