Dear Francophones:

Today I learned that « bordel » means “mess” AND “whorehouse”.

A) Are these words directly related (does « Quelle bordel » literally mean “What a whorehouse”)

B) Is that phrase “work safe”?

"Quel bordel".

Not entirely sfw, but French people have a higher tolerance for salty language than Americans.

And yes, both meanings of the word are somewhat related.

@ParadeGrotesque My apologies for misgendering Bordel. I read better than I write.

@Seanochicago

Misgendering things in French is quite common for native English speakers, so you are entirely forgiven.
