      In oldworld French, Trifouillis-les-oies is a favourite of mine (it’s a fictional village name, meaning something like… Fiddledy-the-geese).
      Saint-glin-glin is for a date, here.

          Oh well, for someone who only ever had one year’s classes of a related language (Spanish) over 20 years ago (fuck, I’m so old lol), that’s a pretty good non-assisted guess IMO 😁
