Va Va Voom!

I know a lot of the British people have seen the new Renault Clio adverts however I am not sure whether it is shown in the U.S.

Anyway Thierry Henry (a famous French footballer...AMAZING) goes on and talks about what is Va Va Voom and what isn't Va Va Voom.

I was just wondering what you think Va Va Voom is.

And also, who is BOBBY? I have a sneaky suspicion that it is Robert Pires but not sure. Also why would a French person ask what the French for Va Va Voom is?

"weird no?" (said in a dodgy accent, trying to sound like Thierry)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
no-one know the Va Va Voom!?[b(]
 
What? Who? Huh?
(sorry, Chopnik. I think most of us are WAY lost in this one. )
 
Thierry Henry = VA VA VOOM!

Ruud Van Nistlerooy= No va va voom.

Anybody that knows anything about footie will agree.

Better examples will follow, i hope.

Ok some examples of Va Va Voom are:

1./ A mans shirt that doesn't look very good on him but looks sexy on his girlfriend.

2./ In a greyhound race, the hare is the one with the Va Va Voom.

3./ "Animal" from the Muppets has Va Va Voom.

4./ ME!


Now you have some examples of Va Va Voom, can you give a definition of it?
 
not answering this thread is no Va Va Voom.
