God only knows how it's spelled down there. Probably has a bloody "q" in it somewhere.

That was subtext? You should have been charged with assault with a blunt instrument.

Except for makeo's girlfriend, who now seems to be a fixture.
Lucky he didn't show her the skiiing photos he likes where you can't tell who anyone is or what is going on. That might have given her pause.

Yeah, it's entendre. No accent anywhere. It's the infinitive form of the French verb "to hear".

If you need help with your French, Deity, you only have to ask. You don't have to hide behind your embarrassment.
"Vous est huffy".
That's a second person plural, followed by a third person singular, followed by an English word.
First, you have to decide whether you're an intimate of Horse's. Which, even though this is a French lesson, doesn't mean what you think it means. If you know someone really well, you can use the familiar tense - the singular - in this case the second person singular, "tu". If you're not an intimate of Horse, he would resent you using the familiar tense - surely an invitation to use it anyway, but that's a different bouilloire de poisson. Anyway, I know you're not an intimate of Horse's, so you should rightly use the formal tense - in this case the second person plural, "vous".
Now, "vous" is the second personal plural case, thus you have to match it with the appropriate case of the verb "etre" - "to be" - which is to say, the second person plural, "etes". There's a circumflex - a small, upside down "v" - over the first "e" in both "etre" and "etes".
Thus, you should say "vous etes" - followed by the French word for "huffy" - for which you could use the word "fache", with a circumflex over the "a" and an acute over the "e".
If you're really really determined to use the third person singular - "est" - in relation to Horse, you would have to say to someone else, Hydey for example - "Il est frache" - which is to say, "he is huffy".
Okay? Now repeat after me ...

Yes. It means "once more". Schoolboy French. Everyone - including schoolboys - should know it.
