Pardon my ignorance, but is a poseur the same as a poser?

Wendy – Your ignorance is duly pardoned, we can’t all be clever. The English term poseur is a loanword from French, in which it is used with the same meaning as in English to refer to people who “affect an attitude or pose”. In other words, show off.

A note to my American friends: a “twat” is not the same as a “twit”

Thanks Sarah. I can’t imagine how the Americans interpret “twat”, but here in Britain it means a “silly or stupid person” with an IQ of approximately -2, and a “twit” is usually an upper-class chinless public-school type of person. |

Here are a few facts, which might help you decide if you've had the unfortunate experience of meeting me in real life or not ... I am 75 going on 30, divorced and available. I enjoy French cooking, drinking lots of wine, (French of course!) and holidaying in France (on a pittance, I might add!). I also have a passion for amateur radio and electronics. I design and make stained glass windows now purely as a hobby (It used to be my trade until I retired). My other interests are archery and French boule; playing Petanque with friends and a nice bottle of vin rouge on the side.
