I am outraged by that bone-petite. Which bone is petite? Why does their bacon have bones?!

I wouldn’t assume someone who writes bone petite would know that the second “t” is near-silent, so I went with the phonetic emoji alphabet version. 😅

[-] luluberlue@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago

frenchy here : the second "t" isn't silent at all, you're confusing it with "petit", the masculine version, where the second "t" is indeed silent.

[-] Evkob@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

I think they were saying the second "t" in appétit is silent (which it is), not the one in petite.

[-] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

I understand; I said “near-silent” because I don’t know of a better way to describe it (diminished? unemphisised? 🤷🏻‍♂️)

Mind you, my experience with French is mostly limited to Duolingo and Google Translate - and could very well be wrong.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

So bone apple tooth? Sounds completely off.

[-] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

I was aiming for teeth, so that’s on me for only including one! 😅

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

lol I see, bone apple teeth I guess

That sounds more like bon appétit than bone-petite

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

Ummm.... Well.... Yes.....

r/boneappletea has been a thing for almost two decades at this point, and that subreddit was dedicated to people misspelling words and phrases with spellings that indicated that the person had only heard, but never seen the word.

I always thought that's like a joke, now i saw so many americans say bon apple tea that i'm so sure anymore.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

"Bone apple tea" is often used as a meme to reference malapropisms like this, so that's probably how you've seen it used... However, it originates from someone actually making that mistake and someone making a subreddit about it.

[-] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 29 points 1 week ago

Bone-petite is as much French as a neo-Nazi will ever master. This guy is probably considered sophisticated in MAGA circles.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 week ago

Considering who wrote it, it should read “boner petite”

He's just letting him know his penis is small

The stapes/stirrup bone is pretty petite.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Very skinny (ribs and hipbone very visible) and small breasted woman.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

not my stank bone for sure.

[-] fraksken@infosec.pub 1 points 1 week ago

Also, on top of being raging racists,isn't this kinda ... Pedo? ... Bone ... Petite ... I mean, really ...

[-] three@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

Hmmmmmm curious as to why this was your first thought........

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Right? I'm into petite women because I'm 6'4 and the best sex I've ever had was when I was 19yo banging a 5'2" 34yo fit mom. Petite does not equal young.

[-] Orygin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

If you speak french that does sound like pedo shit...
