Mardi Gras !

It's funny how the brain does not put 2 and 2 together sometimes. Mardi Gras is considered a French thing. But did I EVER translate the French meaning in my head before? No, why? I have NO IDEA. One would think I would have, since I am *ok* at French. But no... funny how the American "version" of it was just embedded in my head. I feel really dumb :-\. It means "Fat Tuesday", btw, which is extra stupid on my part, since I know Mardi Gras' big day is "Fat Tuesday" !!!

I know I've ran into other similar things before, especially with English<-->French, but this is the latest one so I had to share it, since it's insanely stupid of me and rather comical :)
