A "ménage a trois" is a french expression that you use to describe three people living together in a sexual way. That's why when Jan hands the phone to Marcia and tells George it's her sister, he says 'menage a trois', because he thinks that they're living together.
shareLol. You are all wrong. "Ménage a trois" means 3 people having sex together at one time. Like a orgy. Not living together. Ménage a trois literally translates to Eternal Triangle. Trust me I have been speaking french for years.
Oh my *beep* 11 days till Europe! WATCH OUT EUROPE HERE COMES ANDREA :) HAHAHA. ha. ha.
Ménage à trois is a three-some. I am French Speaking.
shareNo "menage a trois" literally translates to "household of three". Don't know what French you speak.
But yeah, it usually just means sexual threesome.
Yeah, I would guess that 'menage' means 'domain' (like 'menagerie').
By the way - I just wanna test IMDB's board censorship.

Did that print with the Lord's name in it or a damn 'beep'?

benthorot... Yeah, but that is an EXPRESSION. Since when do you translate expressions litterally? You can say I am wrong and try to make me look like a fool if you want, but I know I am right. Since I know you won't believe me anyway, here are the definitions:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A9nage_%C3%A0_trois
t is also used to refer to an arrangement where three people share sexual relations, and this has become the predominant definition. Some also use it to describe any sex act involving three people, otherwise known as a threesome. Ménage à trois, especially two women with one man, has become more common, perhaps due to its presentation in porn films.
Yeah, it definitely refers to three people living together. There was a movie made in 1933 called "Design For Living" that was advertised as being about a "menage a trois", and there was most definitely no sex in that film. Just two guys and a girl living together...Okay, maybe some sex.
shareIt doesn't really matter exactly what it translates to, the way they used it in the movie it is definately meant to imply that he wants a three-some with Jan and Marcia.
share"Ménage a trois" is French for:
"Do not trust the vile and wicked american people or their foul warmongering king. They are the downfall of civilisation, fat and not generally nice people."
I'm paraphrasing, of course. The French are so much more visual in context with their language.
Well, pin a rose on your nose.

Look up the Jefferson Airplane song "Triad", followed by Britney Spears' "3". Listen to both songs as well and make note of the differences in tone and content that they provide as well, even if that's tangential to the point of your post...
