Well, I warned you. As with the sign posted earlier about putting the "trash" only in the wastebins provided for that purpose in a cemetery (as opposed to giving them Christian burials), this is another sign that has a double meaning, which no doubt causes many French folks to chuckle as they drive by. The French word "trou" means "hole", and "Trous en Formation" with an exclamation point is warning you to be careful on this road because the winter weather we've been getting is causing pot-holes to form in the road surface. Ok up to there ?
.
But ... the French word for "asshole" is "trou du cul", which can of course, as in English, also mean a person who is mean and sorely lacking intelligence. And the French phrase "en formation" can also signify "in training"... so this sign could literally be translated by any semi-literate French person as meaning, "Caution, Assholes in Training" !
.
Which causes no end of speculation as to exactly what the assholes are being trained to do... and where are they being trained ? Judging by the state of the world these days, maybe we better start thinking about shutting down some of the asshole training centers, there seem to be an over-abundance of them out there already... but I will let you judge for yourself...
