Euphamism? edit

French Polishing is also a common euphamism (at least in Britain) for oral sex, if anyone feels it appropriate to include in the article..?

Since french polishing is essentially smearing wood with reconstituted insect vomit and broken glass, I think the blowjob reference deserves a page of its own. This page is already nasty enough for me, anyway. 9tmaxr (talk) 06:11, 18 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

What about people who are half-French and half-Polish? edit

Like Chopin? French polishing has also been used as a technique for the restoration of finishes. However, the eminent antique dealer and furniture scholar Israel Sack once referred to french polishing used thus as 'vandalism'!Toyokuni3 (talk) 06:27, 4 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Capitalization edit

The Manual of Style says french polish should be spelled like that, no capital letters, contrary to how it's currently spelled in this article. ehn (talk) 16:45, 10 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
