Television is a source of many new words for me. In fact, I've learned a lot of my French vocabulary from watching TV shows (talk, cooking, game shows, etc.) and movies in French over the years.
While perusing the TV guide last week, I noticed this fine film in the schedule: L'Attaque des sangsues géantes. Now, it's obvious that something giant is attacking, but what are sangsues?

I didn't watch the movie.
He he! I must have seen one of those films, because I knew the english word. I have never seen a real life one, and hope never to ;)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, but I hope never to have the occasion to use this word.
