bobbyburns:

IG Farben (short for Interessen-Gemeinschaft Farbenindustrie AG) was a German conglomerate of companies formed in 1925 and even earlier during the First World War. IG Farben held nearly a total monopoly on the chemical production in Nazi Germany. Farben is german for "colors", and initially many of these companies produced dyes, but soon began to embrace more and more advanced chemistry. It manufactured 98 % of the 31.670 tons of dye produced in Germany.
I was unable to find out exactly what colours it manufactured, but it's safe to say it manufactured a whole lot!

Good question, but I haven't been able to discern who the idiot was that made that highly original name up.

I know. But I don't think French would agree with your eloquent explanation.Martin said:
Anyway, according to my source, it's France which has the highest rate.

Let's agree to disagree on this one. What's the difference which country leads. Sooner or later, it's going to change.

Well the suicide rate varies with the season, so maybe it depends on which country is having the worst winter.Idun said:
What is the origin of the phrase 'Pardon my French'? We have a few French people at work and they hardly ever swear, and apparently when they do they don't say Zut Alors! or even Sacre Bleu. Though they do of course say 'Ohheehon' all the time. I feel cheated quite frankly.

What is the origin of the phrase 'Pardon my French'?
This phrase, in which French refers to "bad language", is employed when the speaker feels compelled to use an obscenity despite having listeners who might be offended. It's a late 19th century euphemism which first appeared in Harper's Magazine in 1895.
It is thought that the term French is employed in this sense as it already had a history of association with things considered vulgar. As far back as the early 16th century, French pox and the French disease were synonyms for genital herpes, and French-sick was another term for syphillis. The OED [Oxford English Dictionary] also equates the adjective French with "spiciness", as in French letter for "condom", French kiss (1923) and French (i. e. "sexually explicit") novels (from 1749).

What do freemasons actually get up to behind closed doors?
Free-ma-son
noun
Freemasonry:
a worldwide fraternal organization, often calls itself "a peculiar system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols." Its members are joined together by high ideals, of both a moral and metaphysical nature (and, in the majority of branches, by a common belief in a Supreme Being). Freemasonry is an "esoteric art," in that certain aspects of its internal work are not generally revealed to the public. Masons give numerous reasons for this, one of which is that Freemasonry uses an initiatory system of degrees to explore ethical and philosophical issues, and this system is less effective if the observer knows beforehand what will happen.
So, what do they get up to behind closed doors?
