Auntie is waiting

I like this French tongue-twister: dans ta tente ta tante t'attend which means as much as 'in your tent your auntie is waiting for you'. If you pronounce it aloud it sounds like 'donh tatonh tatonh tatonh'.

I remember around 30 years ago coming across 'dis donc Dede tu veux du dindonneau du Pere Dodu?' I think it was an advert.

Here 's one: Dis -donc, Dina, comment dit-on du dos d'un dodu dindon?
Translates as: tell me Dina, how do you say: on the back of a plump turkey?
