That's my *absolute* fav movie quote. Thanks for sticking it in there, whoever it was that did.

mmm.. what's "bonne lasse" mean? sorry to ask a stupid question, it got lost in translation for me...

OOOOH! Are the Borg coming up?
(I'm seeing several "assimilation" jokes, for some reason... hehehe!)

From the quote, I'm wondering if it's intended to be 'bonnie lassie'. Scots (loosely) for 'pretty' and 'girl'.

Could be wrong though.

I can't remember if I wrote this line or note... but if *I* did then the term "Bonne Lasse" came from the movie "Pirates of the Carribean" in which Johnny Depp's character says something to Orlando Bloom's character about rescuing his Bonne Lasse - or translation - rescuing his fair lady, damsel in distress, beautiful maiden...

You get the picture.

An alternate spelling is bonnie lassie. Maybe that will help, Lara. There are also several songs, usually Scottish, about a bonnie lassie or a bonne lasse. Some are naughty. The dictionary meaning for lass (lasse or lassie) means a girl or young woman who is unmarried - or beautiful maiden as DJ so eloquently explained.

Oh, and I see LabRat has put her two cents worth in - you just wait, girl, you just wait. You are in the story....

I don't remember who wrote the 'bonne lasse' line (I wouldn't use that spelling, since 'Lasse' is a man's name in Swedish, and one of my colleagues is named Lasse Eriksson). For that reason, I would only be comfortable writing 'bonnie lassie'.

But I sure remember who wrote that 'You've got me - who's got you?' line. It was Nancy!!

Ah! Well thanks for the explanation. Going to go to bed a smarter person.

I'd never heard that before, no matter how you guys spell it. *lol* I've seen "Pirates" (Johnny Depp AND Orlando Bloom!! *drool*) but well... I saw it in French. ;-)

On my way to read part 5. YAY!
