That's what my neighbor was screaming when I slept with his wife......

Maybe. I can't know for sure, my mum needed the word for a report she must have finished now. Sometimes being multilingual is a pain, you never have the right word in the right language when you need it !!! |

I just thought of it. Old people are slow........  ~~~~~~~~~~~ One entry found for maraud. Main Entry: ma·raud Pronunciation: m&-'rod Function: verb Etymology: French marauder Date: 1711 intransitive senses : to roam about and raid in search of plunder transitive senses : RAID, PILLAGE ~~~~~~~~~~~ My French has one inch of rust. Is -age the the act off? Or the one taking the action? If it is the action the [n]Maurad'age[/b] would then be the act of raiding or pillaging. |

Keep in mind, English has a lot of French embedded, so for basic word construction, look at English words similar to the French ones. ie: Ownage - the act of owning |
