Isn't it really "betes noir"?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I wish I got the "zoo, supposably" reference, but it flew right over my head.

Nope. Bêtes noirs. The adjective (noir, black) will need to agree with the noun (bêtes, beasts).

Hey. New board.
I kinda like "shrimps" in some contexts. It's like "oh noes!"

In a Jamaican accent, it comes out like schrimps.

In a Jamaican accent, it comes out like schrimps.Is that "sch" the same as the "sch" in school?

Teppy, thanks for the "zoo supposably" reference. It must have aired after I stopped watching, because I still don't get it.

Yes, but I think of it as more "chimps" with an "s" and an "r" stuck in.
