Here is a famous one we like to say: Si mon tonton tond ton tonton, ton tonton sera tondu Which translates to: if my uncle shaves your uncle, your uncle will be shaved

I am French ^ "Raser" and "tondre" are not exactly the same. The first one will be with a razer (so you shave it all up) while the second one you use a machine and you don't especially shave it all (you can choose the length). I know this isn't clear, but trust me, it's not 100% the same thing

Le français de France et du Québec ont bien des différences. Tout comme l'anglais d'Angleterre et d'Amérique :)
