    Gonna go on Countdown with the line “Dictionaries aren’t rule books, they’re record books” and fight Susie Dent.

        You mean <<pardonnez moi?>>

        “pardon et moi” means “pardon and me”. “pardonnez moi” means “pardon me” (in a polite / respectful tense).

          It still works, it can mean: sorry but how do I exist if it isn’t a rulebook?

        Delightfully failing to be either but with a huge sense of superiority and disdain for the youth and migrants.
