chantoose

Chantoose" does not strike me as a common word in English but I have seen it used in phrases such as "a French cabaret chantoose". It took me a while to realize that, in fact, it of course means "chanteuse" (French, feminine, for "singer", the masculine being "chanteur" - "chanter" is "to sing", hence the English "a chant"). As I understand, "chantoose" is a semi-phonetic transcription into English of the French term. forum.wordreference.com/threads/chantoose-use-of-the-word.96106/

phrases such as "a French cabaret chantoose” Would you say it is pretentious, and/or for/by arty types, and/or used ironically (cf "thespian" for "actor", for instance).

Chanrose

Chanrose is a sweet girl, specifically from KOREA. She can be a little moody at times, but the best thing you can do is give her some space. Chanrose has a lot of information about emotions, and can really help you out during a bad day. She's confident, brave smart, and amazing, but she's judged by her voice and her looks. She may seem scary, but once she opens up, you won't want to ever leave her side. Her ideal type would be someone who she can have long conversations with.
