Something I just remembed in last week's Game of Thrones.

While Loras and Sansa were discussing their future wedding, Loras described the dress Sansa would wear as having French sleeves.

France doesn't exist in this world, so that kind of threw me for a moment.

Ok back to your regularly schedule program.

1. Good Catch!

2. Westeros sure looks like Britain to me

and the Narrow Sea the English Channel.

3. I am pretty sure he said fringed sleeves.

At least that is what I thought I heard when it aired. I think I dvr'd it and can check again, but it sounded like "Fringed Sleeves" to me.

4. I did that very thing

He said French.

6. There is no doubt whatsoever, he said fringed sleeves

maybe his accent is throwing you. I just watched it about 20 times. It is clearly "fringed."

[warrior1]

7. I know I heard the word French and I googled and other people that word too

But I'll take your word that you heard fringed.

8. I understand the confusion

His accent and inflection makes it hard to hear the "ed" and the end and the work fringe can easily be mistake for french in his accent, but if you turn up the volume and listen to it, its clearly fringed. I asked my daughter, who does not watch the show, to listen. At first she thought it was french and then after hearing me say to listen again, she said, no its fringed. i think if you listen again, you will agree, now that you know what you are listening for. Accents and inflection are easy to misunderstand sometimes.

9. I heard it as fringed. nt

11. What does the Closed Caption say?

That's another way to check .

[dr.strangelove]

12. We think alike

Look at post no. 10 in this thread. I checked CC and it says fringed sleeves.

[pinboy3niner]

5. I thought I heard 'Farengi sleeves'

But I could be wrong...

[dr.strangelove]

10. Hey - sorry to kick this again but ...

I was watching this weekend, and I put on the closed captioning, and it said fringed sleeves too. Not sure if this matters, but many are reporting that the term "fringed sleeves" is a very regular discription in the books.

I know its tough, but if you jack up the volume, there is an "ed" at the end.
