Oops is now a French term

France's ex-justice minister Rachida Dati mixed up the words fellatio and inflation, which sound similar in French, during a television interview. She told Canal Plus: "I see some foreign investment funds looking for returns of 20 or 25% at a time when fellatio is close to zero." The French word for fellatio is fellation, which sounds similar to the word inflation.
Within hours, the video was an internet hit on websites such as YouTube.
Ms. Dati, now a Euro MP, later laughed off the whole episode saying she had spoken too quickly. Ms. Dati also said she was happy to have provided some entertainment. Ms. Dati left the government last year amid criticism of her management style, and gossip about her clothes and love life. She is now an MEP and serves as mayor of Paris's seventh arrondissement.
Rico says he can certainly see her having familiarity with the concept, in any case...
