Get the Franic mug.Combination of "français" (French) and "anglais" (English), referred to also as Frenglish.
It has two meanings:
1. An Anglophone (or native English speaker) who speaks French as a second language that is:
a) too lazy to think of the correct translation for what they're saying, and therefore incorporate English words into their sentences, or
b) make a direct word-for-word translation of what they wish to say, in which case the translated term doesn't make sense in French.
A common thing done by French Immersion students, especially in Canada.
2. English words that are also used in French.
