Chignon versus bun

[prosperina]

I know you're being funny. The laughing brought on the choking brought on the spewing. As I said, it's not gentil to make people spew. :-p

Masara- I use franglais to make my students laugh... I probably shouldn't but some of them are entirely too serious, but when they write it in papers it makes me want to slap them.

The Petit Robert only mentions the nape of the neck as a historical meaning. It essentially says that a chignon is a hair style that consists of the hair being pulled up and back either on the head or in the back of the head. Therefore the definition is the same in both languages. And I am really nerdy.

And I am really nerdy.

Yes, me too. It's hard not being nerdy. I'd rather be chic.
