deja vous

Roughly French for "again you", deja vous is the experience of thinking that one has been oneself before, perhaps in a past life, or in this same one, but several days ago. Extremely self-aware people are often unable to avoid experiencing deja vous throughout every minute of their waking lives.

(Not to be confused with "deja vu", a common and easier-to-spell phrase in both English and French.)

When I got up this morning and washed my face, the reflection peering back at me in the mirror gave me a distrubing impression of deja vous. I cannot help but ask, will I still be me again tomorrow? And in the days and weeks after that?

voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?

The phrase "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?" actually appeared before the song, in the play "A Streetcar Named Desire" by Tennessee Williams, and a poem by E.E. Cummings. The phrase is puzzling as it uses formal language ("vous" is the formal way to say "you") while describing an intimate act (the phrase literally means "Do you want to come to bed with me?"). This leads many to believe that the phrase is tied with prostitution.

"Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?" is the formal way of saying "Would you like to come to bed with me this evening", as opposed to the informal "Veux-tu coucher avex moi".

voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?

Actually, "Lady Marmalade" was not by Patti Labelle, but by the group Labelle, a band she fronted. Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash rounded out the trio. "Lady Marmalade" was written by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan and was featured on Labelle's 1974 album Nightbirds.

Disco Stu-pid got it only partially right...

vous

"You" in French - either plural or singular but then formal. Unless you address a kid or someone you're familiar with, use "vous". Canadians are less formal and more commonly use "tu" when addressing someone (whatever his/her age).
When hesitating (having a conversation with someone who's neither an elder or a kid, nor a member of the authorities), simply reply using the same form as the person talking to you.

Parlez-vous anglais? = Do you speak English?
Formal and rather litteral - more fluent forms would be:
Est-ce que vous parlez anglais?
or
Vous parlez anglais?
