The French expressions lexicon

The expressions you will hear at an after-work, by the rink or in the coffee line, mostly the Quebec French that is everywhere in Calgary, plus Acadia, Belgium, Switzerland and francophone Africa. Each one has its meaning, a local example and a button to hear it. No variety is “better”: this is the whole francophonie.
