Ok so for those of us not fluent in French, could you please translate "La Rôche-Posay" for us so we stop chortling like middle schoolers?

    It's a normal O, no accent. It's the name of a place, not really translatable. The argument is, prononciation of "posay" is nowhere near to "pussy" if you pronounce it the regular French way.

    It's prononced more like "pause-hay".

    So, pronouncing pussy but in a funny exaggerated way? I'm imaging Turk from scrubs describing what he did over the weekend to JD.
