I can also recommend this fine list, not to mention its wonderful title.
Noblesse oblige.
Wow, thanks for all the suggestions! I was aiming for "saucy" gallicisms. I think a few of these suggestions would work well in my "Sexy and Saucy" list too.
façade?
voulez vous coucher avec moi?
fin-de-siecle, femme fatale, film noir, denouement, film noir, flaneur, amour propre, avant garde, roman a clef, roue, amuse-bouche.
laissez faire, embonpoint, eminence gris(e), après nous, le déluge, cherchez la femme, feuilleton, je ne sais quoi, hors de combat, sauve qui peut, faute de mieux, rapprochement.
And those little cocktail snacks that are painted onto the sides of buildings in Las Vegas in such a way that they look completely real:
trompe l'oeil hors d'oeuvres.
Espirit de corps.
And don't forget où est le boeuf? and vous méritez une coupure aujourd'hui. American culture has so much to offer the world.
And most important: je ne peux pas croire que ce n'est pas beurre.
And boudoir? It's one of those French lover's words...
Excellent list! How about louche, nouveau riche, bourgeoisie?
