'Nonante' is used in the French-speaking part of Belgium, but it's generally frowned upon in France.

frowned upon

as in "you just wiped your ass with my language, my country and the history of my ancestors" it seems

They kind of stare at you as if you just farted in the most obscene way possible.

Or they passive-aggressively make you repeat what you said until you say it 'right'.

Or they reply in a kind of exaggerated broken English.

Not the ever so polite French!

I spent a lot of time in the country when I worked for a French owned company.

It's a beautiful country, too bad about the epidemic of sticks in their asses. I am so glad it hasn't spread to their neighbors.
