The French word "étroit" is typically used to mean "narrow" or "tight." It can; however, also mean "to be hard up."

The French preposition "de" means "of" and is written "d' " when preceding a word starting with a vowel.

So if the expression "Detroit City" was written in French as Cité D'étroit, it would mean the "City of Being Hard Up" (i.e. Hard Up City).

MERDE! (i.e. SHIT!) ... pardon my French.

Ackchully..... it comes from the French for "straight" as in part of a river......(the river now known as the Detroit river)

But it certainly is hard up. it's so poor this is it's best music that it saves for sundays and holidays.....

Ahahahaha! Thanks for the fantasy history lesson.

Of course, the French word "détroit" doesn't mean "straight", but, "strait" as in a narrow connecting waterway.

There's an old numbers joke in French about a newly married young man away on his honeymoon who sends a letter back home to his father to let him know how things are going. The letter read:

"7 & 3!"

Spelled out, that would be "Sept et trois!" which sounds like "C'est étroit!" which means "It is tight!"

The father sent a letter back to his son saying:

"8, 7 & 3 & 9."

Which spelled out would be "Huit, sept et trois et neuf." which sounds like "Oui, c'est étroit et neuve" which means "Yes, it is tight and new."

MON DIEU! (i.e. OMG!) ... time to eat some American fries to get this taste outta my mouth.
