Typos of genitals

French Interior Minister on DNA, fingerprints and genitalsBBC
The reservation of the French Interior Minister Brice Ortefe about "genital prints" has become a new Internet sensation.

Actually, he meant fingerprints (empreintes digitales in French), but, wanting to separate this concept from the information recorded in DNA (empreintes genetiques), he said: empreintes genitales.

The minister's unfortunate expression was heard during an interview he gave to the French radio station RTL and the LCI TV channel, during which he discussed various methods used by the police to catch criminals.

The reservation was witnessed by thousands and thousands of people who watched Ortefe's interview on various Internet sites.

Meanwhile, in September of this year, the former French Minister of Justice Rashida Dati made a similar mistake: during an interview in which foreign investment funds were discussed, instead of "inflation", she used the similar-sounding word "fellatio", that is, "oral sex".

By the way, Minister Ortefe mentioned Ms. Dati's embarrassment only last week when he discussed another reservation, the authorship of which this time belonged to a high-ranking cabinet official, Luc Chatelet.

Against the background of the rumors that have recently swept France about who Nicolas Sarkozy will entrust to lead the government as a result of the upcoming shake-up, Chatel said: "The President appointed me Prime Minister," but then hastily added, "I meant Minister of Education."

Discussing the incident, Ortefe remarked, "Chatelet's slip is much less explicit than the one you all know about."

And now, as sarcastic French observers note, the Interior Minister has repaid himself in the same coin.

But where are they, frogs, to our honorary student of the Institute of Philology of the Kiev National University! One phrase "We wanted the best, but it turned out as always" would be enough to go down in history forever.

And the most complete collection of chernomyrdinok (in two volumes) was collected in his Yuroblog by a user under the nickname "Yuri on display":

But

• But as for, if he does not live to see it, yes, we will all live to see it. We'll live. In what configuration? Must be in a good configuration. And don't make a tragedy out of it. (about the 2000 elections)
• And who will try to interfere – we know about them in person! You really can't call it a face there!
• And we are still arguing whether to check them on the psyche or not. Check everyone! (about State Duma deputies)
• Where were you before? When it was necessary to think, and not to cut seven times. And now they realized, they ran. And everyone turned out to be behind. In the deepest sense. And Chernomyrdin warned.
• And Chernomyrdin warned. And not just, but not easy. Because I knew and saw how into the water. So what? It's nothing. And how about us?
• And those who are the most, where are they? I would say, with these, as they say, hands. And still, and always will be, is and was. Although sometimes I do. But that's not what we need to think about right now. Now we need all together. We have everything in common. And fate, and trumpet, and songs. Yes, it's difficult, yes, it's bad, but we're here. Because this is our home. Both Russia and Ukraine, whatever you call it. And who owes whom, there is still need to figure out. Because everyone owes everyone. Leonid Danilich and I haven't even started counting here, but we've already lost our way. But we will calculate, and then everyone will know. And we are first of all. And if someone is too smart, let him count himself, and we'll check later. And we will report where it got. Now as for the controversial issues. There are questions, there is no dispute. That is, there is a dispute, there is no question. So we have to decide. And not so, on the fly, but on a sober head. There are a hundred and fifty million of us here. And there are fifty of you. And if everyone starts, what then? Two hundred. It's necessary to take this into account. And in China, in general, one and a half billion. Well, where are they all going? That 's right Tarapunka wrote to Pushkin: "If I die, then pohovayte on Ukraine cute." And that was when it was. And since then, someone itches. I want to say about the prospects. This is the most important thing for today. And it doesn't matter, Chernomyrdin or who. Whoever it is. Because when Gore and I created the commission, everyone was there, but not immediately. The commission appeared later. In the process of creation. And the work there continues to this day, but with a reverse perspective, at a new qualitative level. We need to look ahead, and not get in the way, tear people away from the case. Why do we need all this? Especially today, when everyone in the world has been around for a long time, except for us. Just us and these. I don't want to call it here. Yes, everyone is laughing at us already. And rightly so, and rightly so. But we will prove it and have already proved it. Because we can. Because they have to. And if you have to, then you have to. And that's where I'd like to end up. And I want to. And I will want to!. (after being appointed to the post of Russian Ambassador to Ukraine, shorthand writer Igor Irtenyev)

• We will defend this in order to prevent this.

In• In our life, it is not very easy to determine where you will find and where you will lose.
At some stage you will lose, but tomorrow you will gain, and properly.

• One must be born into charisma.
• The most important result of Peter the Great's reforms is the creation of favorable conditions for Western business people.
• At least put you on your ass, even in a different position – it's still no use!
• If we get into a fight, we will fail the next, and future years. Who needs it? Who's itching? Who itches – scratch in another place.
• We always have the wrong thing in Russia.
• In general, it's strange, well, just strange. I can't do it again, I don't know and I don't want it. This does not mean that no one is allowed. Well, probably, it may be necessary to introduce someone, to withdraw someone.
• Actually, there are few successes. But the main thing is: there is a government!
• Here is Mikhail Mikhailovich – the new Finance minister. I ask you to love and even to love very much. Mikhail Mikhailovich is ready for love. (about Zadornov)
• Here we are drilling it all there, I apologize for this word, invented by Marx, this visionary.
• For the first time in many years, there has been a reduction in the discharge of livestock.
• It is unlikely that the position defines or gives me any weight. Well, where even more is needed for a person who has already passed everything. Everyone knows a lot about this life. I know a lot. Maybe even superfluous.

• You think I'm far from easy. It's far from easy for me!
• You look – we have everything, but we can't live. Well, we can't live! In any way, we are all drawn to experiments. We all need something there, to get it there, somewhere, sometime, to arrange for someone. Why not yourself?! Why not your generation?! Why this, as they say, the same communism was born, wandered around Europe, a ghost, or rather. I wandered, I wandered, I didn't get hooked anywhere! And with us – please! And now – for how many years under the experiment.
• You were talking there, and we had hiccups here, but I'm fine with that, too.
• Do you think that I am my own fool here or am I acting in my own country?
• The whole theory of communism was invented by two Jews.. I had Marx with Engels.
• There is a catastrophe in Yugoslavia. Disaster is always bad!

G• Where has it been seen that Chernomyrdin was bent over!

• I have said, I say and I will say: Chernomyrdin will not become, this will not happen, no matter how much some people hope. Because when such tasks stand, when we are so deep, it is not the time now. Many of me, I know, due to the fact that Chernomyrdin turned out to be very much in the throat, as they say. But I want to tell everyone, not to mention Boris Nikolaevich, that let them not think it's so easy. After all, people see who is rooting for fate, and who is just engaged under the brand. I know who here thinks they've finally broken it. Chernomyrdin always knows when someone is thinking, because he has gone through all this from a locksmith so far. And I do it voluntarily, since it is impossible otherwise, since such speculations are going on that they want to make me like a stumbling block. It is necessary to look carefully at who needs it in order to create an atmosphere around Chernomyrdin. Everyone should know that what has been done over the years of reforms cannot be reversed!

D• Yes, and I'm out there, in my premier's saddle – only the wind in my ears.

• Yes, such people, yes, in a state like Russia, have no right to live badly!
• Yes, we have a lot of specialists to hit the table, there is someone. Yes, it's just known in history.And how much is unknown? The ones who hit? They just flew into each other. And now they continue, only now it's not like that anymore.
• Act, make mistakes, and we will fix it, as the president said.
• The deputies all spoke out so that I would go – be elected, more precisely.

E• His reaction, it always is, we will see whether this one will be or not.
If it doesn't, it means such a reaction. If there is, then there is no reaction. (about Primakov)
• If I called everything what I have, yes, you would be crying here!
• If you do – so big!
• If there is no promotion, I will be fired without my consent. Not fired, but kicked out. (about the negotiations in Yugoslavia)
• If I am a Jew – what will I be ashamed of! I'm really not Jewish.
• Natural monopolies are the backbone of the Russian economy, and we will protect this backbone like the apple of our eye.
• There is still time to save face. Then you will have to save other parts of the body.

Z• Got sick, coughs again in any way.
But a president is a president. (about Yeltsin)
• Why should we join somewhere? We don't have to join anywhere! We usually, if we start to join somewhere, we will definitely step somewhere! You see, Ukraine puts this vector so perpendicular that nothing is clear to anyone. (on Ukraine's accession to NATO)

• And don't: Chernomyrdin this, Chernomyrdin that. Chernomyrdin never and nowhere, but always and everywhere. And everyone. And when it was necessary, five years permanently, by the way, and not like those.

• No matter what kind of public organization we create, it turns out the CPSU.

• When the deputy minister suddenly, out of the blue, makes a statement that 200 thousand teachers and doctors should be cut. Or did something happen to his head?.. That's what can happen if someone starts thinking. I don't want to say another word.
• When mine. our country is in such a state, I will do everything, I will say everything! When I know it will help, I won't hold back!
• When it is difficult, we will always last. That's what we need. (about the "helping hand" to Ukraine)

Who are you offended at? Listen, they always leave, and they come. But when such work is carried out in a hard mode, they will not leave! They won't leave. Or they will leave, and they will come the next day. Or they will arrive, we will say so. This is a very important point. Well, that's my opinion. I think so. I think it's necessary here. One plus or minus does not matter. Absolutely none. Only in a positive way.
• It's somehow inconvenient for me to say what I've become newer. You'll see more, wait, let it warm up.

• Scared a woman with high-heeled shoes!
• The people have lived – and will!
• Our president – he has, in my opinion, not seen money in his eyes for five or ten years. He doesn't even know what kind of money we have.
• Our immediate task today is to determine where we are together with you today.
• Not everything that I have said is for everyone, everyone can talk about it. Even about this, people are not all talking. I haven't reached the main point yet.

The Russian-European part is bigger than the whole of Europe taken together at times! Why are we being excommunicated?! Europe is our home, by the way, and not those who are trying to create all this and escalate it. It's useless.
