She suffers from bi-tete syndrome so badly that last week she bought herself a pair of identical hats and also made two appointments to get her hair cut at the beauty salon.

Get the bi-tete mug.1. A French-language slur used against Anglophones in Quebec. It means square head used particularly often against Anglophones who know little French. Commonly used in Eastern Montreal where individuals may be perceived as anti-French for two reasons:
a) It is often assumed that Anglophones are native Montrealers; use of English in this area may be perceived as having an anti-French connotation.
b) Because Francophones in Quebec must take English in school, it is assumed by some Francophones that Anglophones in other parts of Canada should be taking French, and that ignorance of French means a rejection of its importance by these people. It is not widely understood in Quebec that in some areas of Canada students may choose to study a local minority second language.
An Anglophone who tries to order food at a restaurant or ask for help in a shop using English or stumbling French may overhear the term used against them.
2. Used by Francophones against Anglophone bigots and by Francophone bigots against Anglophones. Francophone bigots tend to think that all English Canadians are a homogeneous mass of hateful French-bashers... Rather than a diverse group of people who are mostly quite enamoured with the beauty and culture of La Belle Province.
Because the term is a physical-stereotype, it can be seen as a "racializing slur."
3. The term can be seen as a counterpoint to the term "frog", which is mostly used by Anglophone bigots against Francophones.

1: Tête carrée:
"Regarde-le donc à la caisse! Un autre tête carré!"
"Look at him at the checkout! Another square-head!"
(For example: This is something you can sometimes overhear at a McDonald's in Montreal-Est, when an Anglophone tries to order but has trouble with the the French names of the items on the menu).

Get the tete de pioche mug.The most amazing super hero in the entire universe, way better than Superman, the flash, Batman, Catwoman, Daredevil, The Hulk, The Mask, Jaws, Big Bird, The Three Stooges, The Three Amigos, the Green Lantern, Noobman, Emeril and Dr. phil ... combined. Super Tetelman Man has ever super power that you could ever imagine, and if you were ever to imagine a new one he would then gain that power. He can fly, shoot lasers out of his eyes, breath ice, have atomic farts, play a percet game of bowling ten times in a row, summon captain planet (only to ridicule him about how he is a hippy that is gay with aquaman), breathe anywhere, not need to breath, turn invisible transform into a bucket of mud, water, or any other living or nonliving thing, make annoying dogs stop barking, and everything else, he can even summon the fishes as useless as that power is. The only thing stopping him from saving the world from itself, the sun, asteroids, comets, robots, disease, bad movies(like Superman Returns), global warming, and hat hair is his one weakness that being he is lazy beyond belief. This causes him to use his pwers but in the most lazy way ever. This could include telekenisis to get the remote control, mind control to get pizza, talking to fish to wipe his ass, time control to watch his favorite show and skip the crappy ones(without tivo whic is to expesive for someone to lazy to get a job). The only aspect of Super Tetelman Man that is not lazy is his side kick, Super Teteldog Dog who is not quite as super as Super Teteman Man.
If only Super Tetelman Man was not so lazy he could teleport here and save us from certain doom and destruction.
