If there was ever a moment for an "ooh la la", it's this moment right here.

I want to see the picture he's taking not the picture of him taking a picture.

This mingeographer discrimination will not stand!

"The pic came out fuzzy" "Well, yeah"

Now there's a man passionate about his work

I was about to type “dire du fromage!”, but in checking the translation I found out the French do not use “say cheese” for a photograph. Instead they say the French word for marmoset.

Say Marmoset!

“When someone’s taking a picture of French people, they don’t yell out “Say Cheese”. No, they don’t even yell out “Say fromage“, as you might have suspected. But they do often yell out “Ouistiti”.

What’s a ouistiti? Well, apparently it’s a marmoset, which is apparently a small monkey with an outlandish haircut. In fact, that’s a marmoset in the picture above. The idea is that the word ouistiti, like the English word cheese, makes your mouth naturally smile”

In Germany kids say "Ameisenscheisse" ( ant shit)

like the English word cheese, makes your mouth naturally smile

I've read somewhere that the E sound isn't great at a natural smile compared to the A sound. Some advice is to say "Ayyyy" like the Fonz from the old show Happy Days

Here in colombia they say “Di whisky” which means “say whiskey”.

In Spain it's «¡Patata!»

I can confirm. However, due to globalization, photographs now tend to say "Cheeeeese" instead of "Ouistitiiii".

Also : "Le petit oiseau va sortiiiir !" ("The little bird will come ouuut !"). So that children will look at the camera.

Yea I haven't heard ouistiti in 25 years

C'est triste quand on y pense.

(It's sad when you think about it)

Ok, now stand still for 10 minutes.

  1. Not 1850.

Yeah. Let's be honest, by 1928 men only needed 30 seconds
