Louisiana Purchase
OK
is a conflation of
Scots Och Aye
with French d'accord;
and guy is a corruption
of the French word gars
with echoes of English
anti-Catholic bonfires.
'Have a nice day!'
is an intrusively
imperative version
of Bonne journée !
Denim comes from
French de Nîmes,
as Gènes, French for Genoa,
turned into jeans.
