Anyone in the hivemind speak French?
What's the French for "go," used in the sense of "you, there--get out of here NOW"?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Allez?

"Allez," Susan. Though someone with better French might have a more forceful suggestion.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When you walk into someplace that guns aren't welcome, people know to ask you to leave it outside?
If you're going to take it somewhere you know guns aren't welcome, I'm thinking you'll conceal illegally.
I guess my idea of self defense is to assume that I'm not to be attacked. And I shouldn't have to walk around proving it (does that make me more deserving of attack when I'm not packing). It just is.
If you choose to ignore my basic right to not be fucked with, then you find out what I'm packing or not.
Otherwise I'd just slap krav symbols on all my clothes (and deal with the inevitable "Oh, you think you and your ordnance/art are badassed???" reaction).
Cops get weapons retention training. I think anyone that carries a gun should have it too (although I don't think its required by law). Having visible guns encourages things other than staying away, and I suspect they'd escalate more often than is good.

The infinitive is "aller." What form of the verb do you need?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I thought it was "va", similar to Spanish, but I am basing that notion on the like 3 words of Creole I know. I think there is also a difference between the singular and plural, "you person get outta here" and "you folks get outta here."

Julia thinks you speak actual French, just by putting on the sort of chi chi accent with which you might hear a French cartoon character speak.
Last night, she told me she knew how the French cavemen talked. I am so glad there were no witnesses.

Thanks. Hmm. I figure the bilingual English-Spanish speaker being told to git will need a hand gesture for that to make sense to her. My very rusty Spanish vocabulary is refusing to cooperate, but I don't think the Spanish sounds anything like "Allez."

Hmm. I originally typed Ann, then did a google search to double check and got directed to sites that used the e. Google is not my friend today.
