Okay, wait, so "baiser" is also "to fuck"? Because I remember hearing about that film Baise-moi, which when the title was translated into English came out as Rape Me. Not the most auspicious title, but at least something the Times could reprint.
Yeah,
Rape Me
is so much better. @@
"Baiser" can mean to kiss or fuck. These days, usually the latter, so most people now use "embrasser" for kissing. I would say "baiser" is a bit less harsh than fuck. "Niquer" is cruder, and most often seen in the expression "Nique ta mère" (Fuck your mother), as in the rap group NTM.
My Netflix top 10 includes movies from France, Portugal, Great Britain, New Zealand, Canada, and Korea. And Dawson's Creek: Season 6.
And how do you say "have adjectivally-florid, romance-novel-style sex"?
(You think I am not taking notes? Ha!)
My Netflix top 10's genres breakdown is:
- Foreign (2)
- Television (4) (3 Western and 1 SF)
- Classics (1)
- Anime & Animation (1) (and it's Anime)
- Horror (1)
- Action & Adventure (1)
That's reasonably representative of the 400+ discs in the queue, but it gets more TV-heavy the deeper you go.
I really should take some time and beef up my Netflix queue--it's down to 8 items total (the last four discs of Doctor Who, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Syriana, and two other movies I can't recall offhand).
No, I am kidding. Although, if you know the full range (okay 5 or 10 more) of words for intercourse, from the sublime to the guttural, I'm always glad for a quick lesson.

My Netflix Top Ten is tv-heavy right now:
Inside Man, Touch the Sound, Arrested Development: Season 3: Disc 2, Brick, Weeds: Season 1: Disc 1, 2046, CSA: Confederate States of America, Band of Outsiders, Weeds: Season 1: Disc 2 , The Office: Season 2: Disc 1.
Although I just realized that they finally re-bought the BBC Bleak House, so I can finish it up. That's going up to the top of the queue.
