    In France, "Kanak" is a perfectly acceptable word for the natives of New Caledonia. That's how they call themselves.

      You must emigrate forthwith, and take up residence in Hollywood, where you will be engaged in crafting films, most of which will contain wry jokes which sail completely over the heads of the audience and are mainly appreciated by gay men and melancholic homesick Europeans.

        Canaille is "kanalja" in Finnish, by the way. I wonder how the word got to be so popular across Europe?

              The construction of the Kiel Canaille used many guest workers from across Europe.

                The sound when somebody falls out of the window.

                If they fall from the 10th floor it's "aaaaaaaaaaaah" - *bump*

                              The English word may have gotten it's unfriendly connotation from the use of "kanakas" as indentured laborers in Australia and other places.
                              Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?
