This is why I never have had any desire to speak French: it's so annoying! The nasality of vowels combined with all the superflous consonants make it the biggest pain-in-the-ass language of all time. I'd rather learn to speak in clicks. Just try pronouncing the example sentence; it's bound to piss you off.
Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day
embonpoint \ahng-bohng-PWANG (the "ng" is never pronounced, but the vowels are nasalized)\
noun: plumpness of person : stoutness Example Sentence The judge was a man of stately embonpoint who walked with a heavy step as he entered the courtroom.
