Why, that's Terrible!

I just learned a new french word yesterday.

If you stepped into a room, saw an awesome-propelling-spinning vehicle that your little brother just put together and exclaimed, "Terrible!" (yes, it has to be exclaimed)

It means "Super!"

No, really.

But don't ever use "terrible" in a french sentence.

E.g. You take a french girl out and say to her "tu semblez terrible."

You'll get yourself slapped in the face right there! In English, that would've meant, "you look terrible", no matter how well your intentions. *chuckles*

Go [phoe]gure.
