So probably not

What is a "very French thought"?

Alright, you are terrible people and I'll regret this: Around the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990), French people started to say "It's Beirut" to say "It's a mess". Twenty years later, Beirut was rebuilt but the expression still lived on in France out of habit.

Unfortunately, it's become accurate again. 😰

uh.. ic

'ic' is short for "i see" ;)

@Hypolite Petovan you're welcome ;)
